I got up early and started removing the six golf cart batteries that make up our house bank which provides all of our DC power and power for the inverter which in turn converts 12 volts CD to 120 volts AC. The new batteries were delivered at 1000. By the time the batteries were installed it was 1230. I was tired and sore after lifting 12 heavy batteries on and off the boat and in and out of the engine room.
We went to the North Carolina Maritime Museum in the afternoon. It was only two block from our slip. I found it fascinating.. It had excellent exhibits of North Carolina’s coastal cultural heritage, ecosystems and maritime history. They had finely made scale models of sharpies and other sailboats unique to the Carolinas, skipjack dredgers and menhaden trawlers among others. There was a watercrafts center across the street from the museum which gives boat building classes .
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Beaufort although we probably would not have stayed as long if it hadn’t been for the bad weather.
