Well gents just had a great time traveling around with the CEO, got to see a little of North Myrtle Beach, very nice for a vacation on the beach,





But we had the good sense to leave our kids there for a vacation with our friends and head north.

Stopped in on Skools (Todd) stomping grounds, Emerald Isle area and we both liked that a lot, pretty country and a boaters paradise. On the phone with Skools while we were there and had lunch at one of his spots. Best lunch we had for a long time.



Nice views of the area and snapped a shot of what sat below us while we relaxed and ate.

Took the Ferry across part of Pamlico Sound, which is really pretty country, an area that the CEO and I are going to go back to for sure to check out with more time, the New bern, Oriental area





Then we headed up to the best part of our trip, to see Lee and his great lady Sandy, folks these are very nice people. The CEO and Sandy hit it off right away, and Lee? what can I say. Any one who meets you in the driveway with two liter size Mojitos as you pull up has got his sh!t together in my book LOL.

Anyhow Lee has got him a set up there that is gorgeous. His house, that he built is impeccable, and the setting is fantastic.

Then there is the landing off the back of his property to the river, where there is not one but two V20's lounging waiting for the next adventure





First night took the V out with the lady's across the river bay and had a great dinner in Elizabeth City



The Captain at the helm

The next day took a ride around with Lee and Sandy and got the lay of the land, pretty country. Picked us up a bushel of fresh crabs and had us a feast at Lee's house with his neighbors coming to join in. Dam those crabs were good.





Lee's good friend and neighbor two doors down has himself one of the most mint V20's I have seen. Actually its a V21 with 200 hours on it since he bought it new. Very, very sweet. His name is Tom and he and his wife are fine people we had a blast with. took a tour of his set up and like Lee's it is sweet.

So we finally left on Saturday, had to attend a birthday party on the beach in Lavalette NJ.

It was a great trip, met some very fine folks, hooked up Ozzie to Lee via phone while down there and we are going to do a striper get together this fall hopefully.

And to Dave (Spareparts) and Ozzie I have this message, yes I do know the difference between a Yankee and a Dam Yankee.

I also know what fine people are when I meet them and I just had the pleasure of the company some very fine people.

Thanks Lee and Sandy for your great southern hospitality. And you know where your next trip is, right.

[garagenc]

Yep Sandy and I will make a trip up north to see ya'll, you have us thinking when Sandy's job ends that may the time to take a trip.

I'm glad ya'll had a great time and youre welcome back anytime.

Ozzie: I'm serious about hooking up this winter and catching the ocean stripers. Willy says he's game.

Maybe some of you others would like to hook up and go, we could probably get some of the VA boys to go.

We go on about you Yanks...but the truth is, some of the finest folks I've ever encountered were from up there...I had a boss once who was a former NYC Policeman prior to finding his way to SC...what a gentleman...EVERYBODY loved "The Bear" and he would do anything for you...as fair-minded an individual as I've ever met...

Any barrel of apples has it's gooduns and baduns...we got some pretty big homegrown @$$holes down here too...

[reelapeelin]

And Lee sure looks like he's got it goin' on fo sho!!...

glad you enjoyed Fins they do have good food. Beaufort is a pretty town, did you by chance ride by Black Beards House while there? it's just right up the street from Fins. Wish i had been down while you were passing thru.
