2024 E31 (Day 18-20) Canada to Florida ICW Beaufort NC to Myrtle Beach by cruiser
In this episode of our Intracoastal trip from Canada to Florida we take you from Beaufort North Carolina to Myrtle Beach South Carolina. The waterway channel was busy in this section of the ICW. We had so much fun and made the best of our long travelling days.
After having to weather a storm E29 (Day 12-15) and then meeting up with friends E31 (Day 16-18), we FINALLY exit North Carolina!
Due to the delays, my sister Dark must fly back home and leaves us. She was a blast to have and a great crew member on the boat. We will miss her.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Hello and Welcome! We are Charley and Don.
We are two Canadian that sold everything we owned and decided to Live Fully and Freely.
Our story here started when we moved to Cozumel Mexico, then bought a 40 foot Best Way Trawler in the USA and cruise it to Mexico in four months. We lived on our yacht for over a year in beautiful Puerto Morelos, Mexico.
We believe that plans are never set in stone when living fully. We often have "new beginings" or "new experiences"... life to us, is meant to try new things, go to new places and meet people along the way. This is what our channel is about.
You never know what's around the corner for us. What we do know is that life can be short and we want to make the very best of it...while brigning you along. Whatever this may become.
We hope you follow along the journey, and perhaps live freely though us or be inspired in other ways.
We sincerely thank you for your support as we continue to bring you all along.
Charley and Don - "Chardon'eh"

    That happen to us in Cheseepeak Bay. We were out in a Crab boat doing some fishing and drinking our share of the gree beer and acting like hillbilly jackssses. After it was time to back in shore, the Fog rolled in, so our Capt. Decided to follow the body bells tobacco to his Dock. Not Eben a whisper, their was this Big ass Nuke Sub heading out to Sea. I suppose we were some 100 yards away. It was impressive. They look so big out at Sea. We have been just across a Sub that being repaired just like our ship was being repaired at NP News.
