Getting used to the USA again

We’ve been back in the USA for about a month now. I’m kind of still adjusting to how easy it is to get everything. I keep thinking that we need to get groceries, or water or something else and then I realize that we have enough of each of them. We’ve found some free doc’s going up the ICW. We stayed at one in Oriental one night. They had a marine store that let you use their bicycles. So we took them to the local pizza place. They had a special buy one pizza for about $9.00 and get a free cheese pizza free. That was a good cheap dinner.
The last two days we have just sailed. no motors running. I love it when the wind is in our favor and we have enough room to sail. We are in between the inner and outer banks of North Carolina right now so we have plenty of room. Most of the time we have a sail up but the channel is so narrow and curves around so many times I’ve had to have one motor running all the time. But not for the next couple of days.
One other thing I noticed. The people are nice in the southland. In the Caribbean they are nice to you but you never really fit in. Back in the USA we fit in.
