We stayed an extra day at beautiful, historic Southport to visit with friends Miffi and Charlie Williams and to see the Stede Bonnet Pirate Race festivities. Every year at Halloween, Southport has a sailboat race, complete with pirate dress and water balloons, in honor of local pirate Stede Bonnet. Charlie and Miffi dressed for the occasion. They also fed us some excellent jambalaya.
This southern aristocrat shared her life story, even though she's dead 100 years.
The trial of Stede Bonnett. After being found guilty, he and most of his crew were hanged in Charleston. They're buried in the sea wall at the Charleston waterfront.
We finally put Peter where he belongs -- the old town jail. He seems happy to be there.
Nancy and Santa at the Christmas Shop in Southport. Where are Nancy's hands? What's that look in Santa's eyes?
Hi Peter and Nancy, We're enjoying your trip! Great blog with fun pictures (esp. of Peter in jail and Nancy with Santa...!! ) Just wrote a comment but don't think it registered somehow as a posting. Anyway, have a good trip, no more strong winds. We'll be "standing by..."

You must be getting close to us by now? Or maybe you are heading to the west coast right away? Hope you didn't get too much of "Ida's" wind. Happy "sailing!" N3RIG and OM
