Belhaven to Aligator River

Had a long 12 hour cruising day into the teeth of a 20 knot northeasterly wind. Left Bellhaven at the crack of dawn.

Saw very little boat traffic all day but was impressed with Bodacious.

Was overjoyed to arrive at my anchorage and meet Brian and Stephanie who had their hook down from another Westsail 32, Rode Trip.

They kindly had me over for delicious homemade tortilla patties with beans. She makes them with 2 cups of flour, 3/4 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of oil and fries them on the griddle with no oil. They have their beautiful boat up for sale at the moment with an excellent blog at

and one of the galley

And to cap it all off here is "Rode Trip" and the reason why I go cruising...........
