We had the anchor up and were moving before sunrise. River Dunes is off the Neuse River, at the far Southern end of Pamlico Sound. We had another 60 miles to cover and we needed to arrive at River Dunes before the marina closed at 5:00 pm. The Sound was calm and smooth as glass, with only the ripples caused by the boat as we glided along. We arrived at the marina at 3:30 allowing ample time to pump out our holding tanks before tying up in our new slip. The guys helped clean the boat and we secured everything down below in preparation for departure. The following morning, Alex’s wife Delouise arrived to pick us up. Gordon and I were dropped off at the New Bern Airport while Alex and his wife returned home by car. I will be in Vermont through the Holidays and return to the boat around mid January.
