CT to FL Day 17
Oriental, NC to Swansboro, NC
Delayed departure this morning so Susan could go to the Saturday Farmers Market... it opened at 0800... Susan returned empty handed and upset... she had hoped to pick up some fresh produce but only found arts & crafts at the Farmers Market...
she did however pickup some breakfast sandwiches at the coffee shop...
We got away at 0900 and found that we were fighting current... ran at 5.5 knots all the way to Morehead City where we crossed the inlet from teh Atlantic and had a nice boost for the last 2 hours to our destination for the day... Swansboro, NC.
We lucked out and scored a spot on the town dock... we were secure on the dock with shore power at 1500. Our location for night N34°41.159', W077°07.162'. We traveled today for 6.5 hours covering 37.8 nautical miles averaging 6.3 knots.
