2000 when we made our first trip down the ICW (and the only time that
we had anything to do with Beaufort by boat because I think the
marinas are too expensive - we anchored )

Its funny how impressions can be different. We were there at the same
time (we met in the Dismal Swamp) and remember Beaufort, NC as one of
the highlites of our trip. A nice museum, a good bookstore, several
good shops, good restaurants, entertainment, all across the street.
An island with wild horses is a short dinghy ride away. The marina
had a courtesy car for going to the market. I was starting to check
out local real estate! Of course we may have been biased because our
then 5 year old met up with some of her friends from Elizabeth City.
And, our previous stop was Belhaven, were the marina seemed like
something out of the Addams Family.
