Away from Morehead City

We're now approaching Wilmington, NC.  Only saw six other cruising boats today.  But you could sure tell it was a weekend with all the small bass-type fishing boats zipping up and down the waterway.  The waterway goes through the Camp Lejune Marine Base, which my good friend Google tells me is the largest Marine base on the east coast.  From their web site,

To help prepare warfighters for combat and humanitarian missions abroad, Camp Lejeune takes advantage of 156,000 acres, 11 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious operations, 32 gun positions, 48 tactical landing zones, three state-of-the-art training facilities for Military Operations in Urban Terrain and 80 live fire ranges to include the Greater Sandy Run Training Area.

This morning was one of the coldest on our trip with a wake-up temp of 49.  I guess I can't complain too much since that's going to be the high back home.



Signs of a really good marina - not only is "Beer" bigger than "Diesel" - they tell you the beer price!



Fortunately you don't see this warning too often when boating.

I think some of you should jump on this offer.  Once the economy turns around who know what this will be worth?
