A quiet 18 mile run on a calm day. Had to move our slip position in Belhaven because the finger pier was too short in the first spot.

Up early for potential run to Oriental, NC but forecast for Neruse River well beyond our No-Go criteria. Left the slip and ran to the pump out dock and back instead, a short distance for all the work of getting underway and towing up again but delighted to have an empty holding tank.

An interesting run. Up very early and underway quickly to reach a bridge being repaired that could only open from 7-8 am, 12-1 pm, or 4-5 pm. Got it at 7:40 am.
Avoided ( but could hear) offshore Marine live fire exercise by staying on ICW. Listened to TSV Vindicator work hard to clear traffic from hot box. When the voice on the radio gets intense and says "This is the gray warship immediately front of you. You are standing into DANGER. Turn to port immediately", you would think more people would listen.
also monitored several Pan-Pan calls offshore but were too far away to respond.
wind and current up when we arrived at Beaufort. Discovered we could fuel at our slip but pump out was blocked. Need a pump out badly.
an interesting day.

A quiet run. Anchored in Mile Hammock Bay, part of Camp LeJune that abuts the ICW. A great and secure (in many senses) spot. Did not go ashore.
