Chilly Thanksgiving

Morehead City has been good to us over this past five days at dock. We were tucked in and survived a few chilly rain-soaked and windy days.  We even dodged a tornado about 2 miles from us on Tuesday night. Winds were gusting to 45 knots by us.  It was made much nicer by meeting to very nice people, Benny and Lisa. We were able to share a few meals and stories. We even broke out the cards and played Rumicub to pass the time.  Now it's thanksgiving and we are so excited to be moving again. We were greeted by 32 degrees and 17 knot north wind.  But once we got around the bridge of morehead city, we sent off by a pod of dolphins.....and yes, "our" crane came out to wish us well.  We pulled out the head sail and had a sunny day to Hammock Bay. We put our anchor down about 3:30. Time for Thanksgiving dinner of meatloaf and sweet potatoes and baked apples. Yumm.
