We had a hardy Breakfast of eggs, biscuits, and sausage and set off to see the town. We anchored so far away from the waterfront that it took nearly 15 minutes at idle speed to reach the town’s dinghy dock. That, as luck had it, was right across the street from the Post Office where we had had our mail forwarded. Beaufort is one of the most interesting towns we have visited, so far. The North Carolina Maritime Museum has a courtesy car available for provisioning. Almost anything a cruising boat needs is within the immediate vicinity. Just beyond the waterfront are dozens if not hundreds of historic homes that date from 1732 to 1859.
We spent the afternoon relaxing and taking care of business. The mail we received included our boat insurance renewal notice from BoatUS with a bill for $3,310.00. I called the company and told them that Seascape would not be in their designated hurricane zone during the insured period and they reduced the premium by over $1,300. It pays to stay out of Florida. A mild northeaster blew in during the afternoon. Dora baked a ham for dinner.
