anchors aweigh

Where has September gone? There have been lots of sailboats at anchor in Silver Lake, including, recently, a gorgeous Cheoy Lee ketch. One can dream. The cruisers are migrating south, which must mean it's time to think about my own winter vacation. Right now the top choices are a nice long trip to wine country in Argentina or subletting a place in a Rocky Mountain ski town. I could also stay on Ocracoke and invest some $ and sweat into home improvement projects. Feedback is welcome.

A friend is visiting for the weekend, and I called around checking room rental rates on Ocracoke. Turns out staying in a nice condo from Blue Heron Realty is not much more than a hotel room, plus you can cook and relax by the pool!
