After topping off fuel, and pumping out waste, we headed out at 9:15am, connecting with the ICW outside the Marina. 65 miles later we arrived in Bell Haven, NC, our anchorage for the night, This sunny Saturday had light winds to 10 knots on our nose. The forecasted southerly winds didn't materialize. There were more boats out in the ICW, enjoying the weekend. One surprise was a seafood company over 30 miles inland from Morehead City, that had 8 trawlers motoring in from the sea with their catch to sell retail/wholesale! This would take them 3-4 hours to reach their destination. In addition, we passed a tug and barge in a narrow section, taking up the center of the channel, and leaving us in 6.5' touching bottom before we could get into mid-channel after he passed. Tomorrow we will have over 20 miles of narrow channel with more issues like this one.
