We flew in our airplane, Dick & Lindy flew in theirs. Their house is only a mile or so from the New Bern airport. After a yummy lunch, we headed out to their dock. Cecil needed to get his boat off the dock to protect it from the impending Hurricane (Matthew)!! So, he volunteered to take us for a little spin down the Trent River.
Capt'n Cecil.
Fun boat - the water was just a little choppy. We tootled up the river - very nice houses (some close to castles!! - like the one belonging to the author Nicholas Sparks.)
Relaxing on the boat.
Then it was time to help put the boat on the trailer and get it out of harm's way.
The "girls" climbed in the back of the pickup for a short ride.
And we relaxed back at the house - Lindy is acting a bit silly after bumming some cash$$ from Richard!
The next day, we rode over to downtown New Bern - wandered around the outside of the Tryon Palace. Neat bit of history there!
And some beautiful gardens!
And then it was time to head home - a fairly smooth flight and an ILS approach into Sanford. A great time!
