Pat King picked us up this morning at 6 AM on the dot (she's so good) and took us to the boat. We pulled out of the slip about 7:15 am and arrived in Morehead City about 2:30 pm. We had 20+ kts. of wind going down the river so sailed most of the way down the Neuse and about halfway down the ICW until it just got to be a chore. It was really very chilly so thank goodness for the wonderful blanket that Tim & Chris gave us during our last cruise because I was wrapped up tight! We actually met up with a boat (M/V Bohemia) that was in the slip across from us at Anchorage Marina in Baltimore (small world) so that was really great seeing them again. We docked in steady 20 kts. beam wind (eek) but managed not to hit anyone.
Here's a photo of downtown Morehead City for those of you who have never been. It's a quaint town with lots of seafood restaurants and small gift shops, not to mention charter fishing boats. Dinner tonight will be done on the grill aboard (hopefully the wind will die down) with LOTS of wine, congratulating ourselves for a good docking job! We miss all of you and hopefully you'll come visit!
Our task tonight is to get on buoyweather.com to see what tomorrow's forecast will bring and then determine whether we will come in at Masonboro Inlet (my vote) or to just go all the way to Wynah Bay, Georgetown, SC or Charleston, SC.
Stay tuned!!!!
Tracy & Chris
