 We enjoyed a 3 1/2 hour tour of Wilmington by one of the town's true characters... Bob Jenkins. |
Report from Janet (reporting from Wilmington) After the tour, we attended a 3 church choir concert at St. Paul's Lutheran Church (our own version of Spoleto). We sat in the back row so we could make a quick getaway. Later we enjoyed dinner at The Pilot House. |

| Extended Report from Bernie and Nancy -
May 25 through May 30
The Teuberts returned
from Indianapolis on May 25 to Barefoot Landing and found Water Music
at Barefoot due to minor engine problems ( they did not get to
Charleston). Teuberts now have 2 grandkids graduated and 2 more to
graduate. Indianapolis was cold 45 at night and 55 days with
rain!!!!!!!
The Teuberts used the 26th to recover
from our graduation trip ( laundry, rest etc ) and had a great day with
the Wests. We walked over the Barefoot Bridge to go shopping and have
lunch at Joes Crab House.
On the 27th, cool night with blue
sunny day, the Bernan and Water Music traveled to Grand Dunes and went
to the Grand Dunes beach for a long walk and had our own splash. Upon
check in, Grand Dunes presented us with a large bottle on wine and a
beer cooler with lots of goodies. The Marina also provided a
continental breakfast each morning.
On the 28th, cool night and blue
pleasant day, 5 boats - Up tha creek, Tara, Maturity Rules,
Cameo, and AguaBase arrived safely from Charleston. They had great time
at Charleston with great stories. That evening, our group took advantage
of a 2 for 1 entree offer at the Grand Dunes Hotel's Water Scapes
restaurant. It was a magnificent evening with great foods and elegant
class service and presentation.
On the 29th, cool night,- the Meyers
and Teuberts played golf at Palmetto course. The first 2 holes in the
rain then ok for the rest of the play. When we combined the Teuberts vs
the Meyers scores==it was tie. On the 29th the Martins left the group
to head home via Southport, Mile Hammock, Morehead city (to meet with
prospective buyer for the Cameo) and then home. That evening's
