Beaufort Docks

Beaufort, North Carolina



Heading to Beaufort, NC



The wind and current made getting the boat into the harbor nasty at best. Once secured, the day got better as the location was lively and fun to be a part of. The town of Beaufort has developed a tourist destination that is filled with history, shopping, restaurants and watering holes!



Our carriage



While in town we reconnected with Nancy and Mike that we met in Charleston, SC! Mike saw our boat in the harbor and left a message to get together. After a horse drawn wagon ride through town and dining at the dock side restaurant, the six of us walked to their boat for Ricki and Carl could view its interior. Their catamaran is beautiful.



Nancy and I took the opportunity to try a boxed wine that neither of us had before which was very good! Any boxed liquid makes good sense for use on a boat because its light weight, packs well and doesn’t break like glass!

Tomorrow we will head north to Oriental, NC.
