Monday, September 29, 2008 - Belhaven to Neuse River,NC

We left the anchorage off Belhaven at 0800. It was a clear day with light winds out of the northeast. We motored 45 miles to Broad creek on the west side of the Neuse River. There were only wide areas in the natural channel in the creek to anchor. We dropped the hook near the creek’s mouth in nine feet of water at 1300. Many more boats came in later in the afternoon and anchored further up the creek.. We rode the dingy over to Charlie and Mary’s sailboat for dinner. We enjoyed excellent spaghetti and good company. It was well past dark when we got back to our boat. Without any man made lights we could see millions of stars.
