Moving South

WEDNESDAY- I can hardly believe it's Wednesday already! After a long run, Monday night we found a secluded anchorage in the Pungo River in northern North Carolina before Pamlico Sound. The wind blew 20-25 mph with heavy rain but our anchor held and we were warm and dry in Sea Dream. Tuesday we made another 65 miles or so in good weather, finally anchoring in one of our favorite spots in the South River across the Neuse River from Oriental, NC. The sky was filled with stars and no one else was in sight. We had a nice dinner and watched TV. Phone and internet service were terrible but TV reception was good.
Early today we joined another sailboat parade making its way South. The weather is still good and the wind stays about 15mph. We anchored in one of our favorite little towns, Swansboro, NC. The wind isn't blowing much but the current is very strong here, running 2-3 knots. After taking Louis for a nice walk in the quiet streets we had dinner in the local seafood restaurant. It was a treat to walk and eat ashore. Now the dinghy is back in it's cradle and we're off to bed.

Happy Halloween!
