Feelin' Like Geography?





Some of you may have already messed around with Google Earth. I am attaching a link to download the Google Earth program if you don't have it. It's a really cool program used to show locations from satellite view with all kinds of extra information. Here's the link for the program.... http://earth.google.com/download-earth.html




Places to look up once you get it installed


The listings that are given first will show you exactly where we are and have been (of course the islands are still in the plans for a future endeavor)


type the location into the search bar and wait for it, takes a little time to focus from satellite




Triton Yacht Sales Inc. Oriental, NC ( once zoomed in you can just see our boat)


Beaufort, NC (We sail here alot through the Adams Creek Canal) 4-5 hours sail away


New Bern, NC 5-6 hours sail away


Cape Lookout, NC (Through Beaufort inlet and out to the bight, we anchor near the lighthouse) 6-8 hours sail away


Ocracoke, NC (fun inside trip up through the Pamlico Sound) 8-12 hours away


Dry Tortugas ( a place in the Keys that we want to visit with the boat some day) roughly 4 weeks sail away through the Intracoastal Waterway
