Alone . . . Until the Bugs

    We left Morehead City Marina Yacht Basin around 8:30 as planned and headed up the ICW.  We all wanted to fill up with gas, so we opted to fill up at Jarrett Bay Boat Works.  Since we are the slowest of the three boats, it was decided to let us fill up first, then begin out trek north.  The others would catch up.
     As it turns out we traveled most of the day by ourselves.  We caught sight of them as they emerged out of Adams Creek onto the “Nasty” Neuse River, which was really quite calm today. In fact, we had a nice motor sail across her today.

     The winds were supposed to be relative light today, but instead were perfect for a nice push once we were on the Pamlico Sound. Then it was on to Belhaven, where we set the anchor for the night.  We quickly went down below by the time the sun was setting.  Suddenly the May files decended upon us; millions of them.!Unfortunately, they managed to come into the cabin and we managed to kill about a hundred on the ceiling, which then needed to be scrubbed. UCK!!!! Talk about feeling buggy.
     Oh, for the blue green, crystal clear waters, warm fresh air, sandy beaches and NO BUGS of the Bahamas!!!!
