Emerald Isle Visitors
Sunday, April 29. The beach house seems quiet this afternoon, now that both the Clares and the Lillys have gone back to their respective boats. We picked up Tom and Gerry Clare (Sea Knight), with their delightful dog Lucy, on Thursday in Morehead City. They treated us to a wonderful anniversary dinner at Kathryn’s Bistro that night. Then Barry and Sheryl Lilly (Seaquel) arrived at Beaufort on Friday. What a treat to have Loopers visit us at Celtic Breeze. We walked on the beach (when the wind wasn’t blowing too hard), did a little shopping, a little bicycle riding, a lot of eating good food, sipping good beverages, and chatting about our boating adventures. Last night the Lillys treated us to dinner at the Ice House restaurant in Swansboro, and we introduced them to Yana’s apple fritters this morning at breakfast. Such a fun and interesting group of people these Loopers are! We surely hope to meet up with them again on the water during the next few months. Bob and I plan to stay here until Wednesday afternoon, then we’ll head north to the quaint waterfront town of Oriental, NC.
