C.O.D. Once Again

Well, it is COD again- yes, crack of dawn. It is 6:31, and we are preparing to leave Southport. BTW, the interesting thing about Southport is that they are preparing to film a movie here. They are building a movie set house right on the old harbor. It is a Nicholas Sparks book - Safe Harbor. We thought they were restoring an old house, but no, they were building a shell! Mike was most fascinated by the trash bin. It was full of lovely pieces of lumber. He truly coveted some of the 2x4s. Seems he has a little boat project. But, he did not have a saw to make them the right size. So, he had to leave all that lovely wood behind. It was a sad thing to see the look on his face. And, no souvenirs at this stop. As everyone kept telling us - it was Sunday in Southport. Nothing was open but the Walmart and a couple of restaurants.

I have read Safe Harbor. Great book, I'll have to go and see the movie when it comes out. Tell Mike to keep Jake busy on the boat. With the way he is eating we will need a fork lift to get him off the boat! Wish I could have see the Yacht. Jake said he couldn't get a good picture because it was on the other side of the Marina office. I guess no matter how much money you have, good help is still hard to find. Glad the pier is safe and sound. Happy motoring today and talk to you all soon.
Love, Michele
