This is coming to you from my computer chair in Severna Park.  The guys had little to no service while going through the Great Dismal Swamp which is a shame for us because the blogging stopped.  In one crackly phone call, this is what Vince told me.  We are leaving Alligator River tomorrow for the Pongo.  I asked him if they had gotten to Africa.  It sounded foreign, but they were in the nether reaches of North Carolina.  A real estate man in the Swamp at Elizabeth City gave them a lift to the grocery store.  Another chap told stories about being around during Martin Luther King and receiving a letter from him.  They have stories to tell and yet no service to tell it with.  So I thought I would keep the blog alive and send you the two photos that I have received.

Yesterday, they arrived at Beaufort, North Carolina and pulled into their first marina stop - wow - 7 days  at anchor!  We had a brief facetime with Vince and we also saw Phil - they have the sailor stubble and lots of sun on their faces.  They looked great!

Here's where they are.

They are meeting a friend today (John Ayres) - Vince hasn't seen him for 15 years.  It will be a great day for old friends.
