Mooovin' On!

Would have posted this yesterday, but we were so far in the boonies that there was no service. In spite of a dire and gloomy forecast; rain, wind, etc, we decided to leave the docks at Dowry Creek Marina  for parts further South. With a hand from Fred, the wind, and good ol' Detroit diesel, wed did just that. Not a long day, but as it turned out, a fairly successful one; nothing broke, nothing grabbed the bottom of the boat, and, we got where we wanted to go. Down the mighty Pungo River, 'cross the mighty Pamlico River into Goose Creek, which, Chuckie, is one of the geographical entities creating Goose Island. From we meandered into Campbell Creek: plunked the anchor down, and turned on the heat. Mr Buddy and little red Honda jumped right into it and did their best. Well, maybe it fell a little short, but it still felt reaaally good.


Up in the am to a totally different kind of day; sunshine, hardly any wind, and 45 degrees. Fantastic!
Rolled down Goose Creek ,past R.E. Mayo' shrimp company, the Hobucken CG station, and into the awesome Neuse River. Widest river mouth in the US, they tell me. All in all, a gorgeous day to be out and about; 'specially in a boat.                                               

We are now in Cedar Creek, NC; same spot we were in 9 years and 3 days ago when the killer shrimp attacked us. We be ready now, tho', got old age and wisdom on our side. Anyway, tomorrow we head to Mile Hammock Bay, down by Camp Lejune. You guys stay warm & safe; catch you on the flip side.
