Downeast Rover Sailing

Last night my sister in law and BFF, Jessica, and I went sailing on the Downeast Rover in downtown Manteo. Being that I grew up in Manteo, I never appreciated all the "touristy" stuff until I was older. I have wanted to sail on this boat for so long and I finally got the opportunity to go and got to bring a guest as well!

One of Jessica's coworkers, Kim, started this group for ladies to join to show off their businesses. She asked me to join with me selling Thirty-One, so I said sure! Well I didn't really think nothing of it at first and then all of a sudden there was about 20 members and we were having monthly meetings. Well the Downeast Rover was a "member spotlight" meeting and being this was my first "meeting", I didn't know anyone except Jessica and Kim. I just saw on the website that the other Kim in the group who put this together is the manager/one of the captains. We had such a fantastic time, we brought wine and snacks to share with everyone and there were a lot of yummy snacks! It was a steal for what we paid to enjoy this cruise and cannot thank Kim enough for a great time.
Here are the pictures that show our great experience and fun time!

I did not take this picture, but took it from http://www.downeastrover.com/ so you could see the sailboat, Jessica and I sat on the very back!

This is us on the back of the boat still docked about to set sail! We were giving lays and coozies!

This is a marker in the channel and on top was an osprey's nest. I must say my camera takes pretty awesome pictures,  I was pretty excited to these great shots! In the bottom picture you see the trees...the entrance to the canal where my parents live is there! So cool to sail right by there house.

We even got to see the Coast Guard while sailing. Thank you guys for what you do!

The view from where we were sitting and the lovely ladies we got to chat with for the evening.

Jess and I again while sailing!!

These are the sunset shots I got while we were sailing. It made it such a nice time with there being hardly any wind and it not being hot. We could not have asked for better weather for this trip!

Thank you Kim and the rest of the Outer Banks Entrepreneurs group for a wonderful evening!! Jessica and I had a blast. I highly recommend sailing on the Downeast Rover, it was a great time!
