Limin's salt water launch

Just a few shots of Limin's first salt water launch here! The actual launching we captured on video, so I can't post the champagne bath, but here are a few fun shots of our first cruise along the beaufort waterfront.

Here are the wild horses of Carrot Island, which is located directly across a little channel from Beaufort.

Here I am trying to remember how to drive the boat- what's this thing for again?! Behind me are boats at anchor near Carrot Island on the left, and the Beaufort waterfront on the right.

Just limin' along the waterfront!

N's Herb Garden Update

My mini-herb garden is coming along nicely and I thought it was time for an update. If you'll recall, in mid-May my herb garden looked like this:

By late May, the licorice mint had taken off, and the lemon basil wasn't doing half bad:

Now, everything has exploded! I am harvesting mint and basil like mad, and it just keeps coming! The thyme is also doing great!

Another view, where you can see the chives also at work!

Check out the dewdrops on my mint plant!

Airshow

Noëlle and I went to the airshow at Cherry Point (about half an hour from Beaufort) on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. The weather was very hot but the show was worth it. We got to see some amazing acrobatics, neat planes, and a good show by the Blue Angels. I hope you enjoy the pictures! [Edit by N here: Can you imagine the two of US on a military base?? It was downright frightening. But the planes were interesting.]
