Day #131 - Mile Hammock Bay

Left our quiet state park marina @ 6:45am. It was nice and calm but a bit chilly....another day for cuddle duds, which are long underware!  Wanted to get an early start because there was a bridge in Surf City that only opens on the hour. Long story short, we knew we couldn't make it by noon, so we back down the engine in order to get there by 1:00pm. There were two other boats in the same situation. So we "kind of " wasted about 45 minutes waiting, eating lunch and watching smaller fast boats go by.
We need to get a long day in. We would like to get to Norfolk, VA by Oct, 21st. Hopefully Britta will be coming to meet up with us for a couple of days to enjoy the city life there. We're also hoping to get some cheap diesel in NC.We took on  101.5 gallons today @ $358.9! It was the cheapest around @ Sneads Ferry, NC.
The scenery is still beautiful with green trees, dolphins near the inlets to the ocean and some huge mansions worth millions.
Looking to anchor out tonight after a couple days on land.  At least it won't be so cold in the mornings!
We actually had the space heater on this am.
Today is everyone's lucky day....Friday the 13th!

Anchored @ Mile Hammock Bay which is owned by Camp Lejeune with 3 other boats. It was a beautiful spot for the night.
