We are happy to be putting miles under the keel once again, after a couple nice days in Beaufort. Yesterday afternoon we took on diesel and water (and Ted convinced the marina to give him a free shower...his first since we were in Washington D.C...) and then in the evening we moved a few miles away to a less crowded anchorage near Morehead City. We updated our insurance to be able to proceed south and weighed anchor at 0645 this morning. It was a beautiful day - 80 degrees and sunny, and although there was not enough wind to do any sailing, we still made decent progress. Tonight we are anchored near Surf City in Sloop Creek.

| The girls had so much fun taking turns looking at each other through the V-berth hatch. One would stay below while the other put on her life jacket, clipped into the jack-line and ran forward to the bow. Then, she would run back to the cock-pit, remove the lifejacket and tether and run down into the cabin where they would laugh wholeheartedly together. It was a lot of work on their part (on, off, up, down, laugh...) so we let it continue in an attempt to wear them out. |

| There was a lot of activity on the ICW today - including live firing drills by the Marine Corps. These appeared to be targets. |
