Tuesday - Arrived in Carolina Beach to find it very windy, gusting to 28 mph. Decided not to anchor. We found a small marina but there was no attendants. Made a cell phone call and got permission to stay on their face dock. These is the Federal Point Yacht Club Marina. A marina that is open to transients but can not take credit cards. "Not for profit" is the reason. It took 2 tries to land the boat since the wind was against us. Barbara did very well in lasoing the cleat. We got secured and relaxed for the evening, the wind backed down to 10 mph.
Wednesday - The forcast indicated more wind for Wednesday, so, we stayed one more night. Phyllis, our friend, can to dinner and we had a great night. The wind did gust to 34 mph during the day. Good to be on a dock. Very nice marina with great facilities. When we left the dock, we noticed fly ash all over the boat. On the way we heard the CG close the ICW south of us. The crusiers had problems with the Little River Swing Bridge, the fire and then the Sunset Bribge was closed for low tide. BAD DAY.
Thursday - Arrived at Mile Hammock Bay, home of the US Marine Corps, to anchor for the night. We met John and Judy of "Gypsea" again and had them over for dinner. Barbara does like to entertain! They are very nice. When we left this anchorage we also had fly ash all over the boat.
Friday - We left for Morehead City to anchor behind "No Name Island" but found no room. The dock at Santary Fish Market was the next choice. Ten dollars a night to tie to their dock is good. No water or electric, but that's a fair price. It's a little bussy but get very quiet later.
