We woke up Easter morning in Winyah Bay, and motored three miles to a free dock in Georgetown, so we could go to church. We found a church that was built in the 1700's and our family was assigned to a 'pew box'. The music was good and the people there were very friendly. We left Georgetown after a quick Easter breakfast and continued our journey north.
For the next several days, we put in lots of miles, which was challenging because we had to work around bridge opening schedules and live-firing exercises at Camp LeJeune. We arrived in Oriental Thursday mid morning, a few hours before severe wind hit. We had a great south wind, and sailed across the Neuse River at 8.5 knots. We've enjoyed spending time with our old cruising friends, Green Dolphin, and we visited with Ruahk who is keeping there boat in New Bern for a few weeks. On Friday Michael and I (Christine) went sailing with Alexis and Nicole, to try out some new Flying-Js they got for their sailing school. We had a great time and lots of wind. We're planning to stay here a few more days, then continue our push north. We're hoping spring catches up with us again... we've had to dig out the sweatshirts!
