Day 7, April 14, Sunday

Today the boat show ran from 10am til 3pm.  The day saw some clouds and some sun. The crowd was fair until about 1 then started to dwindle.  I did some morning laundry and mostly stayed in the room.  Lee hung out around the boat. There was one interested couple that already sailed that were looking to up grade, but no one has made an offer.

We loaded the boat at 3 and were headed out by 3:15. Kitty knew something was up when we started carrying stuff out of the inn.  He hid under the queen size bed and we had a tough time getting ahold of him to get him out and on board. We left our water hose at the marina and forgot to refill out tanks before we left.  Hope we have enough fresh water to make it home.  It was pretty windy crossing the Neuse River to where we anchored. 20+kts the whole time.  The cat yowled and finally I could see he was about to be sea sick and took him into the cockpit where he threw up.  He had not experienced such turbulence before. Glad it was only an hour and a half trip.

The anchorage that had been so calm and peaceful on the trip up was now a rocking and rolling one. We bounced and the wind howled and it was anything but peaceful.  The weather said a storm front would pass during the night, with high winds and heavy rain so we knew what to expect.
