Up at 6:30am. To The Bean for coffee at 7. Decided, reluctantly, to leave for Beaufort since:
1. Wind was heading the direction I wanted to go
2. I had purchased extra tow insurance and Deatons is a Boat US Tow unit
3. I'd be back right when the new pump was scheduled for delivery, and
4. The leak was no worse than before
So off I went!
Broad reached from Oriental to Adams Creek. Ran engine a total of about 3 minutes all day. What a welcome change. Wind started out at 10 and built to 25. Left at 9am and was at anchor (in Cedar Creek) at 11am. I stopped early because I was still nervous about getting into Beaufort at just the right time to deal with the strong tidal currents. Light rain started about 6:30pm. Set up the bimini (several days too late) and cleaned the inside of the boat. Tomorrow - Beaufort!!
Never saw a workboat like this before. Not sure what he was fishing for.
