The Nor’Easter had moved North so we were safe to move on. As we left the docks in Beaufort, NC heading to Wrightsville out in the open sea, we had a guest board Jay Sea Dee and we named him Steve. Our first stowaway of this size.
The Captain wasn’t too sure about Steve. Since Steve wasn’t leaving any time soon and we could see that he was tagged, John called the division of wildlife. Their recommendation for getting Steve to move on was to use the blow horn which we tried but it was SOOOO COLD that all it produced was a minor squeak (pretty funny) so Steve got to ride for a while longer and then moved on on his own free will.

We had a juvenile pelican hitch a ride with us when we first started cruising as we were crossing the mouth of the Mississippi. Steve looks very comfortable!
That is soooooo funny. We have had small birds but never a pelican. He had to be tired. I bet thoughts of TURKEY DINNER raced through the mind of the crew :-)
