Our First Home

Monday November 10, 2008

It’s been absolutely perfect in Vandemere these last two weeks. The warm afternoons with such blue water, sparkling in the sunlight could calm even the most ragged soul. I think fall is the best time to be cruising here in North Carolina. Waking up to a crisp morning and a nice cup […]

Monday June 25 2007
Its was a nice week here at Port Vandemere. We had Dustin Turnage out working on ‘grinding’ lots with his special machine. It works wonders, turning scrub into mulch. Wayne Harris and I ran his trawler from Vandemere Creek up the Bay River getting photos and checking water depths. […]
