Leaving North Carolina

We broke anchor this morning around 0650 heading south down the ICW to the Cape Fear River and then heading outside the ICW right to Charleston, South Carolina. This trip will take a little over 24 hours so we anticipate traveling through the night. Charleston will be a welcome sight and hopefully we can go ashore when we arrive as we have not been off the boat since we left Jarrett Bay on Friday morning. We were not able to go ashore at Wrightsville as it was raining and cold on Sunday. Monday brought gale force winds, so of course we didn't leave the boat. Today it is freezing cold (well 50 degrees but feels colder) and a little rainy so we'll see how we do. We will update as long as we have Internet. Wish us warm thoughts and safe passage.
