 Left anchorage at 0610 and passed through Wrightsville
Bridge at 0645. Good. Wash down pump was not working. Bad. We missed
restrictions by 15 minutes. We dread this inside stretch as it is full
of shallows and shoals. We should be passing most of the 'gotcha spots'
at mostly high tide. Though we were hopeful for an evening in
Swansboro, we were lucky enough to get all the way to Morehead City
before dark. (BTW, our good friend was notified today that he will be placed on the transplanti list. The whole ICW could hear us cheer!)

 Today, we left anchorage at 0710 on
mostly favorable but light wind and current. Mattie K. (apprentice swab
cat) is enjoying her time on the water. She likes anchoring and
tolerates motoring. We don't know about sailing, heeling, and rolling.
She is pretty good with thunder so far.

 We enjoy the colorful houses on the Adams Creek cut and
creek. The admiral has a favorite one with fancy lobster pots on the
outside wall. Weather was nearly calm most of the way on the Neuse
River. Arrived at New Bern at 1530 with a quick opening of the
Cunningham Bridge. Called Bridgepointe Marina for assistance as we had
reservations for A Dock. No joy but nearby slipholders came to the
rescue. Thanks!
