Burnout in New Bern

As SPOT shows we are still in New Bern, NC - I guess taking a little break from our year long break.  Actually we were all set to head up to (little) Washington, NC to return the shorts I borrowed last fall.  Then we realized it was the Memorial Day weekend and people here suggested that  lots of people might be traveling for the 3 day weekend so anchorages and docks might be full.  Saturday was also Karl and Treva's 21 anniversary so we decided to stay put.  We also had a few boat projects we could work on (Yea, I know you'll find that hard to believe!) so we decided to stick around.

Before we returned the rental car we made a provisioning trip on Tuesday.  We tracked down a leak in our forward hatch that we have had since we bought the boat.  We also think we figured out how top get the refrigeration to work off the batteries - it was another bad wiring connection.  We also washed and waxed the cabin top the day it was 95 degrees!  Saturday it rained off and on all day so we didn't get much done.  I won't say we're getting a little bored, but even Sue watched the entire Indy 500 yesterday.

This morning the cats complained that they are tired of the same view off the boat every day, and the dock master asked us when we're leaving.  Sounds like it might be time to head north.  Our next stop is Ocracoke, on the Outer Banks.  (That's OBX to the cutsey people who have European-style oval bumper stickers on thier SUVs.)
