To Beaufort Marina, North Carolina
 We got up to a
beautiful morning, up anchor and off at seven. Old Shoe tucked in
behind
 A chap in
silhouette looked on
  Crossing the vast Neuse River - part of the Pamlico Sound was a whole lot
quieter than the journey north, no thunder and lightening AND we could see
others
   As we left the sound we met 'Beaufort Belle' - an enormous load for a lady to
push
  Then we entered Adam's Creek and the quiet of the ICW
 We passed a tree with a regional meeting of crows - the noise was
awesome
  The bear
was still guarding the river, the wise owl was still
present and correct
  Our friends
were there to accompany us, so good to see them and the sun was
out
 Old Shoe (soon to be called Luff Bug)
was there with Maggie enjoying the afternoon, Steve and
Trooper on the helm
 Then we saw a
conference of Cormorants
    Just a few around
the edge were bothered by us passing - most were completely
unconcerned
 There were just as many on the side with a few Pecalins acting as chairmen
   All went quiet, we passed mile marker 200, requested the three thirty lift of
Beaufort Bridge, entered the marina basin and nestled in
Miles today - 35.2
Miles total - 10,689.1
ALL IN ALL GOOD
TO BE BACK
