Today has been beautiful, temps in the low 70's and blue sky! The rest of the boats that have been holed up here left this morning. We elected to stay an extra day, as we learned yesterday that our friends John, Linda and Roscoe on Triton's Trumpet would be arriving today. They are super people and were wonderful to travel with last year, so we really wanted to see them again. They arrived this afternoon, and Colby and Roscoe seemed to remember each other!!
We plan to head out first thing in the morning, down the Pamlico River and the Neuse River, to anchor just north of Oriental, North Carolina. Today we washed all the portlights and put the screens back in!! After days of being closed in, it is so nice to open up the boat. Tomorrow the forecast is for more sunny skies! It will be good to be underway again.
We love everyone's comments and appreciate email; hearing from our friends is always a bright spot in our day!

Glad to hear that you survived IDA and are having better weather. How is the chartplotter working in the ICW? What are you using for autopilot?
Sounds like things are looking up. Be sure you take time to "smell the roses"! Our continued love to both of you. Jack & Kaye
Marc,
The charplotter is wonderful; this would be very difficult without it. We are using armpower instead of a tillerpilot; we did purchase a tillerpilot before we left, but it has not yet been installed.
Jack,
It is tough to smell the roses when it is blowing 45 knots with driving rain! Today, however, we have met some wonderful people in Morehead City. We were given some fresh caught King Mackerel, with instructions on how to cook it!
