CODA : Beaufort at last
23 October 2024
Homer Smith Docks and Marina, Beaufort, North Carolina
Marc- The dolphins were really a good omen for our arrival to the coast. Today was another day where everything just went well and we covered a lot miles heading South. The tidal current was going out as we left Dowry Creek and the Pongo River. The winds were still out of the North all day (unfortunately only around 7-10 knots). The day was just right in the 70's and sunny. We crossed several very large bodies of relatively calm water inside the outer Banks of Cape Hatteras. Even the large powerboats that passed us did it graciously asking if we wanted a slow pass (even a large Sportfishing boat Captain did this). Michael called the Beaufort marina manager where we had reserved a one night space and told him we would be late and he volunteered to stay late to greet us and show us around. The facilities were all new and even the loaner car was a late model van in great condition. We splurged on the dock because I needed to pick up medications at a pharmacy a bit out of town. Everything worked out.
