We stayed a few days in Oriental letting bad weather
pass and enjoyed a fine thanksgiving buffet meal in town with Jack and Marce.
On Friday 23rd we left at dawn (6.30am) motoring with little or no
wind to Morehead City and anchored off the pier, in among a crowd of small
boats fishing, at midday.

After a restless night worrying about the anchor
dragging, we left again at dawn to get best use of the outgoing current and
headed out to sea, I got the sails up immediately and with a good beam wind cut
the engine, sailing until Sunday morning when the wind died completely. There
were dolphins playing around us just before dusk on Saturday and overnight on
Sunday;
Sunday was a lovely warm day with no wind, the wind came around on to
the bow in the early hours of Monday as we were approaching Charleston entrance
channel, making Charleston anchorage by 8am, time for a cuppa tea and a sleep.
