Belhaven Sunrise

   Departed Belhaven 7am as the full moon setting, but no photo as we were departing. About 20 boats departed at sunrise with us.
     Temps in 40s winds SSW about 10 mph. We were against current most of the day. Pete worked a good portion of the day
     For once, entry into Adams Creek wasn’t a problem, plenty of water AND had current all the way down. Finally, we actually cruise 9 mph! at least for a while.

 

 
Sights along Adams Creek. BTW~ The boat is called the "DEAD COW" go figure. . . .

 

   Morehead City Yacht Basin was very busy. We were able to fill up with fuel and leave A dock before the final big yacht arrived. There were also 2 Navy, small, fast boats at dock.

     As we docked, Pete noticed a Naval Amphibious ship docked at shipping dock on the other side of the road. Surprisingly, we heard her coming in earlier in the day. We just didn’t expect her to leave before sunset the same day.

     Bill & Mary rented the marina car (now $20/ 2-hour reservation) for around 6. Based on staff recommendation we headed out to No Name Pizza. I had a gyro, Pete had the calzone, while Mary and Bill had individual pizzas all great!
     Instead of Walmart, which was in the same shopping center, we headed for Lidl, which we passed while driving for the restaurant. It was a decent sized store that filled the shelves with a variety rather than copious amounts of a single product.
     Once back, provisions needed to be put away. Then it was off to bed- another sunrise departure in the morning.
