It's well over 100 here in North Carolina -- nothing like the cool Pacific coast. The work on the Skeeter was not completed until this morning, but that left us time to visit & sight-see with Lynn's cousins, David & Linda Cox, who were kind enough to drive out from Harrisburg, near Concord. Downtown Historic Wilmington is lovely, with lots of Civil War era buildings well-preserved, & cobblestone streets.
We pulled out of the Marina by 12:30 & headed back to the Intracoastal Waterway. Lots of pelicans leading the way. At one point the water was only 4' deep, setting off alarms, but we passed safely towards Carolina beach & my cousins waving us on from a jetty.
Out of the wind, temperatures soared, making the beautiful scenery hard to appreciate ... All we could think of was that the stately waterfront homes all probably had AIR COQNDITIONING!
We've parked for tonight at Wrightsville Beach Marina -- pricey, but the AC & WiFi are running! David, Linda & Tom are meeting us for dinner tonight. The salon has cooled down about 20 glorious degrees, & we're contemplating a dip in the marina's pool!http://wrightsvillebeachmarina.com/
