We had a very nice Christmas - hope all of you did, too!!! My daughter Heather was able to come down from the Raleigh area to visit for the day. Unfortunately, my daughter Nikki was unable to make the trip from Roanoke - that's a long trip for such a short time. We did talk to everybody, including Luke's daughters Lisa and Erin.
Our sister-in-law from Savannah, Beth, made the trip and stayed several days. She struggled to adapt to the boat... :-) Not hardly!!! We did some great female bonding a.k.a. shopping :-) It was great to have her available to run us around for errands, too. She even brought Christmas night dinner with her!
Our boating friends Sally and Ed were still in Morehead City, so they were able to join us for Christmas Day, too.
Wickie loves other people's coats, etc, so he absolutely enjoyed Sally & Ed's visit...
Wickie has also discovered that it's an easy jump to get off of the boat and onto the dock for a leisurely, exploratory stroll. We have to keep a close eye on him now. He never wanders far and returns when I scold him, but he's definitely become a wanderer. It's even more important to him at night. sigh. guess he's a cat after all.
Morehead City is quite a fishing town. There are a lot of tuna, marlin, swordfish, etc., charter boats. This is just the beginning of big tuna season, we're told. Here is just one of the many lines of charter boats, all about 55 ft in length. They go out into the gulf stream. We haven't seen any coming in yet from a day's charter, but I'd love to see what they catch. We're told the tuna this time of the year can run up to several hundred pounds. Here's the website for one of the charter boats http://www.impulsecharters.com/index.htm

We were glad to see them. Luke's doing great - minimal pain or swelling. He's still taking it carefully, but we were able to go for a walk today around the water front in Morehead City.
There were a group of pelicans fishing by the boat in the still, foggy morning of Saturday, repeatedly taking off, climbing, and diving into the water with a loud kerplunk.
Luke got this great shot of a pelican taking off. They are wonderful to watch, soaring slowly only inches above the water.
