It’s another miserable cloudy wet morning with some fog, but we are determined to get this boat underway again. We were supposed to be 3rd in line to do a pump-out this morning, but just as we started leaving the slip some transient boat from out of nowhere pulled up to the dock leaving us with no place to go. It was either wait around for him to refuel or whatever he was going to do or just proceed on. Since is was already 8AM we elected to proceed on.
Out in the Pungo River it was even cooler and more damp. We motored on and the sun finally started to peek through around 11AM. As the day progressed the temperature rose, the sun shone brightly and a little wind helped us along. We finally reached the Neuse river and made our way down to MM175 where we pulled into Broad Creek and then into Burton Creek. This place has been a favorite anchorage for us since we rode out the remnants of Hurricane Noel back in 2007.
We dropped the hook about 3PM, kicked back and enjoyed a couple of brews. Donna was fixing supper when a hoard of mosquitoes tried to invade the boat. A few got in before we got the boat secured, but we managed to kill them later.
After dinner, I poked on the computer to get this log done and then we watched a little TV.
