Tuesday, September 30, 2008 - Neuse River to Morehead City, NC

It started raining just before sunrise. I was up at 0700, made coffee and waited for the rain to stop. As soon as it slacked off, Sailor and I went to shore. He knew the routine and did everything in 2-3 minutes and we were on our way back to the boat. We hoisted the anchor and were underway by 0830.

The sky remained overcast and threatened more rain all day. We decided to stay at Morehead City Yacht Basin located northwest of the port facilities. We arrived around 1400. It was a very nice marina with a long face dock. We were able to pump out and take on 40 gallons of diesel right where we tied up. I took a shower while Dora did two loads of laundry at the marina. We shared the $10.00 charge to use the marinas courtesy car with Mary and Charlie and we all set out for WalMart. On the way we stopped at a marine supply store so I could buy some fuel filters. We walked to a nice restaurant near the marina and had some excellent food.
