Underway by 7:20 with dark rainy skies and upper 40’s. The lights were still flashing but we all decided to go for it. There was never any sign of military boats but Friday was busy with sounds of munition practice. This morning was quiet and we all passed through the zone of blinking lights. We had some good tide with us and the gps showed a top speed of 11.3 knots. Most of the day we traveled with a black steel hulled ketch from Canada. One swing bridge was tough with current pushing us toward a very slow opening bridge and the ketch behind us. Two bridges later we were anchored in Wrightsville Beach with an hour of daylight left. The day had been cold and rainy throughout but we kept the woodstove stoked all day and took turns driving. We both did too much thinking during the night and were feeling homesick for friends and wife.
