Masonboro marina

A cold windy trip up the cape fear river got us to Masinboro marina in good time. We had two social engagements to attend.
  We had met Bob and Diane in the Abocos and they too were on the their way back home, and like us unfortunately having engine problems. Their problem was a little more severe and needed assistance from proper marine engineers unlike Murfet and Thomas bodgers. It was good to see them and exchange stories again , Diane showed lizzie around their boat Islandia and she couldn't
 believe the accommodation . Kitchen with a fridge freezer , bedroom with  double bed , built in wardrobes , en suite. Very comfy!  Lizzie wants one!

I've known John Ayres for many years, one of my dear American friends. He visited us on the way down to the Bahamas at Beaufort and now on the way back he came to see us with his delightful daughter Bonnie.  After drinks aboard we head to a local restaurant. I have to say it didn't look that great from the outside but the food was really tasty, I loved it and the company was wonderful.
  We ended the day worn out and happy.
