Dock Visitors

It's been a busy week for Team First Light. On Friday, Tim's brother drove down from Pittsburgh, PA to visit for the weekend and stayed on the boat with us. Roo, our newest crew member, graciously gave up his cabin for Uncle Paul to stay in (Age before beauty rules.) The following day Team St. Louis arrived in the form of my youngest daughter, her significant other, my granddaughter and her cousin. They had reserved a room at the Oriental Inn and Marina just a couple blocks away. The weather was going to deteriorate the end of the weekend, so we loaded everyone up early Saturday morning and headed off the dock for a 2-hour tour of the Neuse River. It was absolutely perfect weather, seas were calm and the sun was shining. Everyone was happy to have the chance to be on the water, maybe no one more than the Captain.

The rest of the weekend was spent sharing food and laughter and enjoying the wildlife by the dock. It was a great time spent with family and we were really happy to share just a bit of why we like this lifestyle.
