The next morning dawned with high winds. We waited until 9:30, and left Swansboro in 15-20 knot winds - gusting to 25. Leaving the dock was a little tricky, but we got underway without incident. Although we had wind, this was also a day of motoring, since the wind we had was on our nose. Needless to say, speed was sacrificed. Winds died by 3:00P, and we arrived in calm but dark conditions. This was a true night arrival. I lost count of the bridges, and had to wait on a couple of them. We got into the marina in Wrightsville at 6:30P, and were assisted by very capable dock hands. We settled in at a local pub, and watched the UNC-Mich game. There is a change of crew tomorrow - and the ability to sleep in...
