June 2, 2014
I am awake early. The winds are light and ENE. They are predicted to remain light, so all the cruisers are eager to get moving. We grab some coffee and get underway.
 
Out on the ICW, we push onward hoping the winds do not increase or switch back to the NE. If they do, it’s going to be a long bumpy day. The wind did shift back to the NE after we were about two-thirds across the Albemarle Sound. Thankfully, they remained light and we were able to slip into the North River without any difficulties.
 
We contacted Midway Marina and secured space on their face dock for the evening. We arrived shortly before 1PM and enjoyed the remainder of the day as downtime. Being Monday, Crabbie’s Restaurant was closed so we had to rough-it and prepare our own dinner, something we normally don’t do here.

Here’s an interesting sight from the Midway docks.
 

It was a short day, but we’re getting closer to home.
