5/27/2011 Week 2

0530 I was up with the noise of fish jumping.  I took Chase for his morning romp, made a cup of coffee and shoved of at 0600 for Beaufort, NC and then on up the channel to Oriental, NC.  At 1100 hrs I was pulling into the marina harbor after a fairly rough crossing of the Neuse River with one to two foot swells and chop, which is part of the Pamlico Sound.  This has been the largest body of water I have crossed and most of the wave action is caused by the wind and not the tide.  I got into my side wall, free city birth for 48 hrs and then off tomorrow. Tom the marina manager has been a delight and gave me free pool and shower usages.  Nice place.  End of 2^nd week.  More later
