Swansboro, NC
We had planned for a layover day today. Slept in and had an easy morning. About 10 the rain had stopped so we decided to move on up the way some. Tomorrow was scheduled to be a 57 mile day and that is really long. We checked the charts and found that Swansboro NC was about 16 miles along the way and that would be easy even though we were starting about 11. That will cut tomorrow down to something more reasonable. The anchorage here drops off pretty fast and while I was trying to get located to anchor we bumped the bottom. Luckily, we didn't go aground. Guides say there is a fair amount of current here. We put out 100 ft of chain and will depend on our Rocna anchor and all chain rode. Hope for a peaceful nights sleep.
We pretty much have the waterway to ourselves. Met 2 boats today and was passed by one. I also saw our first dolphin of the trip. The afternoon was sunny and our canvas enclosure kept us comfy and warm.
The forecast for the next few days looks favorable but the night time temps will be in the 30's. If your sleeping bag is warm enough, that is good sleeping temp.
