Day 4 - Oct 30, 2013
We’re up at 0600 hrs. We have coffee and breakfast as we wait for daybreak again.

We up anchor at 0715 hrs and move out of the anchorage and back into the ICW. Our planned destination today is Broad Creek which is just a little north of Oriental, NC.

There is very little wind from any direction. The water is flat and glassy which makes for easy motoring and absolutely no sailing. We arrive at the turn to head for Broad Creek around 1430 hrs and decide to continue on to an anchorage in Adams Creek. When we arrived there, we found 9 other boats already anchored which made it next to impossible to anchor there. We found a wide spot off the ICW channel just big enough for one boat and 6.5 feet of water. We got the anchor down at 1645 hrs. Being close to the channel, we got a few wakes from motor yachts until almost dark.

It was another uneventful day, but the weather forecast looks like mother nature has some changes coming out way. Thankfully we only have about 14 miles to Morehead City where we will get a slip, fuel up, take showers and hunker down for the predicted cold front and nasty weather.
