It was someone’s birthday today, so we got up late, had a
relatively leisurely morning and set off for Morehead City around 10:30
9:30 after setting our clocks back. And
we had planned a short trip of 21nm to Morehead City, which sounded like the
best option on this stretch of the ICW for a birthday celebration.
We tied up on the city dock at around 2pm, 34 43.150N 076 42.809W, then untied, turned
the boat around and tied up again so that the electricity cable would
reach. (We’re spending much more time on
docks this trip than we usually do, mainly because the days are so short it
would be difficult to keep our batteries charged on solar power). Oh yeah, and a couple of times, we’ve run our
electric heater lately!
A funny thing happened at 5:30pm – it got dark. Yeah we know the days are getting shorter for
landlubbers too, but boy do you notice it when you live on a boat!
The Ruddy Duck Tavern provided an awesome dinner for both of
us, and we went to bed full and happy.
