Day 5 and 6 of the Trip Home

Well, Day 5 was exciting.  We didn't move.  Weather kept us at anchor.  We are beginning to think we will have more trouble on our way home than we did on our way to New Bern.  We heard from fellow boaters, D & H, that we met on our way to New Bern.  They are on their trip home North as well.  We are hoping to meet up with  them if we have a little bit of luck.

Day 6, Ahhhh we are finally moving.  The waters seemed fairly good when we started out but got progressively worse as the day wore on.  Fortunately our destination was Manteo on the Outer Banks.  Although the water was rough it seemed to be the wind causing most of the problem.  We made it to the free dock at the Manteo Marina.  No power or water but we are tied up and hoping for a good night.

Along the way we have seen several Pacific Pelicans.  These bird are very beautiful.  Well I think so anyway.  Yellow and red heads and dull grey bodies.

I will say we have seen a few.......okay a few hundred sea gulls.  Not quite as pretty as the pelicans.

We expect to be moving tomorrow if the weather holds.
