We weighed anchor at 7 AM. The creek shrimpers and crabbers we’re out early at 5, one with a radio blaring. We wanted an early start anyway as we want to get past the Camp LeJeune area today as they are doing live firing exercises soon and close the ICW.
It was a beautiful morning. Very still air and water. In fact, most of the day was like that, very different from yesterday! The morning light made for some good photos.
After passing Beaufort, Morehead City and into the Bogue Sound, it is a pretty monotonous but narrow channel. You can see the sandbar with the birds. That's how narrow the channel is the whole way.
We passed Swansboro, maybe next trip north, we will actually stop here.
These guys buzzed by us twice today. Military boats going fast, yes, they waked us. 😒
I didn't get a photo of the posted signs when going north, so here they are!
Shrimp, scallops and pasta dinner
and free entertainment!
Beautiful evening dining al fresco
Glass is half full but the bottle is empty! But in this case, the glasses are empty too.
Miles today: 58

Camp LeJeune to Wrightsville Beach, NC, Day 39
We had a full house last night at the anchorage, 7 boats but there is plenty of room there. Weighed anchor at 7:45 and headed south. The winds have picked up just a bit again today but it is a welcome breeze.
The marine guys were out again today, going fast, making big wakes. I guess it is ok for them to wake us all up causing potential damage or harm? People and things go flying . Hmmm.....
The channel is narrow all the way down to Wrightsville with lots of shoaling and crab pots and the jet skiers were out buzzing all around and in front of us. We can only imagine what Wrightsville Beach will be like this weekend as the 4th of July approaches. We will be out of there by Friday morning!
Entering Wrightsville Bridge waiting for the bridge to open.
Miles today: 41
Miles Total: 1170
