Arrival in Morehead City

Waking up to a beautiful day, all but Stuart, who had gotten a little sick the night before.Joe, Carrie and Page woke up for sausage,egg and cheese biscuits at the Shell Station right next to the Alligator Marina. All got to see the pure reflection of the sunrise, not Stuart, still sleeping like a baby. We had a beautiful sail for about 2 hours. Pulling in the sails led to disaster. We were in the Alligator-Pungo Canal,Joe had just gotten to the helm. The rain began to pick up, sandwiches were being fixed, the all of the sudden Gary sprung to his feet to see what was the matter, he heard pitter patter and BAM! we hit. It went from 6 ft to NO feet in one second. Poor poor Joe,got all shakin' up. It wasn't his fault, Gary then took the helm and ran aground as well. Thank the lord, we made it to CAMPBEL CREEK! It was a beautiful anchorage. The dingy master, Stuart, had 5 mins of fun for 25 mins of work. Gary made Chicken Picata. It was delicious!! After drinking from sunrise to sunset, Joe finally won the last game of mexican train wreck. Farmer girls rule!(Gary won one too).
Woke to a warm morning, Joe, Carrie, Page and Gary(and who is sleeping?) pulled the anchor around 7. Smooth run with jib out, doing 7 knots. It was the first warm day, which led to hoisting Page to the top of the mast to spray the wind vane. Had a few boats pass, spotted an eagle, 5 porpuses played on our bow. 55 miles later,we docked in Morehead City, North Carolina.
It was time to clean, not only ourselves, but the boat. We docked at Ruddy Duck Tavern, Joe helped visually supervise Page clean the boat. Everyone got hot showers and ate at Beach Bum Restaurant.
With the wind picking up to 30 to 35 knots, we will stay in the Intracoastal Waterway for the next few days and pick up Will.
