Today started out calm, sunny and we headed out of Dowry Marina in Belhaven at 6:30 AM. Three miles out we had some problems with the bilge pump on port side...so, we headed back to Dowry and my mechanic hubby with all his tools, a spare pump, etc......went to work and 2.5 hours later, we were on our way!!
We traveled 78 miles today and arrived in Morehead City at 2:30 with strong winds! My first time off the boat since we left Norfolk Thursday morning - I walked downtown to some shops, found a mailbox and bakery! Gave Catrina a good scrubbing to get off the salt and then......enjoyed our friends Mark and Barbara's visit. They drove from New Bern and we sat and chattered non-stop over wine before going to "The Ruddy Duck" for very good dinner - My Mark and I were so excited to have some fresh seafood again!!! Mark and Barbara were our dockmates on E-12 for several years in Racine and retired to New Bern in 2005. Really enjoyed seeing them and plan to get together in February in Florida.
