Headed out from Oriental marina early after a brief stop at the local coffee shop, the Bean.

Crossing the Neuse was a little rocky as winds were about 11 knots and the waves were rolly.
It was a fairly cold and windy day – with some light rain off and on.

We will anchor tonight at Mile Hammock Bay, a protected anchorage (still in North Carolina). This anchorage is in the middle of Marine Corps base Camp Lejeune. We happen to be traveling through during training sessions – hopefully we won’t get bombed :). Today we traveled 63 miles – didn’t get to the anchorage until dark.
