Day 1 of Trip Home

 Ahhh, finally we are back on the water only this time heading home.  We missed home a lot, missed our family and friends.  We met some great people while we were here and we will miss them as well.

We left around 9:30 this morning.  We had enough time to pump out before catching the 10:00 am opening of the bridge.  The first thing we needed to do was to fuel up.  We headed to Northwest Creek Marina where we enjoyed the company of Jess, the dock hand.  We did not plan on travelling very far today and planned to stop in Oriental.  (I'm not sure if it is the same Oriental as in the Monopoly Game).  

We stopped and anchored to have lunch.  It is always more enjoyable when we stop rather than eat when we are under power.  We anchored near the Sound of Freedom Golf Course.  A very beautiful course.

We arrived in Oriental just after 4:30 and anchored for the night.  I have several things I need to get organized this evening for easier travelling.

Cora quickly went back to her routine while travelling.  Now, doesn't she look comfortable?

Hopefully this will be an "uneventful" trip and we will be home sometime in May.
