Beaufort 8 Nov
Captains Log for 8 Nov. Reveille at 0600 and breakfast at 0700, We were underway from Oriental Harbor Marina at 0810, with a clear, if chilly, morning.
We transited across Pamlico Sound and into Adams Creek and the Adams Creek canal.
Passed Mile Marker 200 on the way in to Town Creek.
We anchored in Town Creek at 1330., spotting a pod of dophins shortly after anchoring (considered a good omen) . Captain and crew were happy to be on our way with our new autopilot (not yet named) We sang 60’s songs, in company with the XM radio, all the way up the long straight canal.
Weather is closing in on us. There is a cold front coming through Wednesday night with 30 knot winds forecasted offshore over the next three days. We have changed our plans to stay inside for the next 90 miles. We will then jump offshore on Sunday Nov 13th.
Grilled burgers for dinner. We are monitoring the election with MSNBC on XM Radio.
This Gives me chills! To know you are living your dream with someone who loves you and cares for you so much just brings joy to my heart! I love you!!!’
