CT to FL Day 14
Belhaven, NC to Oriental, NC
Having a short day planned we slept in till 0630... I think we were both awake at 0500 as our bodies have become synced to this time but we tried to sleep late... guess I should say we got out of bed at 0630. It was also very odd with it being daylight already... used to the dark. Walked Beecha and departed from the docks at 0715.

Was not forecast to be very nice weather today... 80% chance of rain... winds were to be 5-10 knots and seas 1 foot. We did get the rain but the wind and seas were lacking... the seas and winds were calm.

Nothing out of the ordinary today... did have one trawler with us all day and one of the same SeaRay type boats that passed us yesterday passed us again today... however, today he was not the courteous passer and passed us with a good size wake.

We planned to go to Oriental, NC today. Stopping at the free town docks... but with the rain these docks never opened up. You can check to see if these docks are open via the web as they have a web cam at http://www.towndock.net... harbor cam link. So, we decided to stop at Whittaker Pointe Marina. We have stayed here before and it was very nice and they have a courtesy car. Susan wanted to pick up a few groceries and it would also give us a chance to fill our water tanks and do some laundry.

As we arrived it was raining and foggy... visibility was down to 1/8 of a mile... made the approach a little slow but uneventful. We were securely docked at 1315. We traveled today for 6 hours covering 40.7 nautical miles averaging 6.8 knots. We are located at N35°01.779', W076°40.898'.
