Travel Day 8 - River Dunes to Morehead City, NC

     Remember what they say about "best made plans...?" Well, today's plan was for Pete and George to spend the day on a complex work project.  However, when they looked at the data, it wasn't complete.  After contacting the client, it will take another day to get the proper data.  Hence, it doesn't make sense for Pete to stay here at River Dunes. Even with it being after 10, he feels he can make it to Morehead City docks by later today. As long as the data is correct, he could stay there for the day tomorrow to do the project.

We have watched this pile decompose since 2010, when it was about 10 fee high:

    

  En route he was passed by SV IRISH MIST, a Catalina 470. They were members of CCYC, but we never really got to know them. After a brief "hello" they continued on their way.
     They might not be the most friendly, but the current gods certainly were.  Pete had the current for most of the day, averaging 8 mph for all but a brief period where he only did 6.2. This marina is near an inlet, deep enough for shipping traffic.  As result, it has very strong currents. Docking can be a problem, but Pete caught it at the top of the tide, with little current. Though it doesn't last long, it was long enough for Pete to tie up on the diagonal in the larger slip.
     During the day, he received work that needed to be done quickly, so once docked, he worked for a while before eating a late dinner. He has prepped for the 9 AM conference call in the morning and should be here for working on the project tomorrow.
