Easy day today. We were tired after 11 hours "at sea" yesterday so enjoyed a solid night's sleep last night with the AC blasting. We were under way by 10.00 AM and anchored here by 1:45 PM. Only about 20 miles, all on the cape Fear River and the ICW. We are "staging" ourselves here because there is a reliable opening to the Atlantic where we can start our trip to Beaufort NC tomorrow, weather permitting.
The weather today is breezy with a lot of thunder storms around. It started to rain just as we were dropping the anchor. Its a great anchorage, well protected and close to downtown. We have a friend driving over to meet us for dinner. He is a fun guy and owns a boat like Tide Hiker and has installed a solar power system that I would like to emulate before we head out into the Caribbean.
Just after we settled in a beautiful Selene 54' pulled in and anchored behind us. We were meeting a friend here for dinner so we launched the dinghy and went ashore. Dinner was good! We have decided we like this anchorage and will return one day for a longer stay.
