Spring Creek

We left Bath in a leisurely manner, meaning about 9 am, knowing that we would have to wait for the wind to pick up. Indeed it picked up and Hold
Fast was doing over six knots most of the way down to the ICW entrance. Our little romp was over in a quick 2.5 hours and then we headed into the canal. There was plenty of traffic and we were passed by a number of power boats. One was absolutely stunning, she looked like a space ship, probably the most beautiful power vessel I have seen. Her name was Gorgeous Girl out of NY, NY. Everyone was courteous on the canal, we could not have asked for a better day.

Last time we were in this vicinity, we anchored in an open roadsted on Bonner Bay, while Courage, our troller friend, worked up into one of the surrounding creeks. This time, Myron worked us up into Spring Creek for better protection, almost 360 degrees protection, which is good because the wind is blowing strong and steady now. No one else is here, at least not yet. Given that the herd is on the move, this is a rare time of solitude and we will take advantage of it! We will wait here for favorable winds to cross the Neuse River and the hopefully we will go right into Morehead City.

I had woollies on all day today - which tells us it is time to get south!

Love to all,
Dena
