Friday, May 25, 2007 - Anchored in Little River, NC

We had a pleasant night at anchor near the mouth of Deep Creek. Blind mosquitoes had accumulated in enormous numbers mostly in the aft deck area against the bulkhead out of the wind. Although they don’t bite they swarm around you and leave green spots wherever they come to rest. The spots are difficult to remove and require strong cleaning materials to get the stains out.

Dave Smith and their family friend, Annie Slye, came out to where we were anchored about 1000 in the catamaran and we all got aboard and went for a sail on Little River among all the crab trap floats. There wasn’t much wind but it was a beautiful, cool day to be on the water. We had lunch and then rafted the catamaran with Seascape. Annie had to go to work so I ran her back to Tim’s house around 1430 in the dinghy. Dora and Sailor took naps while Dave and I talked.

Later, we took the catamaran with the dinghy in tow back to Tim’s dock. Dora and I took showers while Dave cooked dinner. Annie arrived from work in time to join us for a drink on the back porch before dinner.

We headed back to Seascape just before dark, and started the generator to recharge the house bank of batteries. We watched a movie while we had the generator running and turned in around 2200.
