We raised the anchor in the bay behind Camp Lejune early Saturday moring. Our next stop is Morehead City across the bay from Beauford, NC. We had great weather although rain had been predicted. All went well until about 10:00 when it seemed that everyone that owned a boat or could borrow one had come out to play. After all, it is Memorial Day Weekend, the official start of the boating season. One time Denniese counted 8 boats in front and 8 behind. A man pulling his kids on a tube, about 6 or 8 years old, lost one about 50 yards in front of our boat and as he turned his boat to pick that child up he threw the other off. What a mess!! I put the boat in netural and sounded my horn. I guess he thought my boat was equiped with brakes. He got them picked up and we were on our way. We arrived in Morehead City about 2:00 pm at the city dock. By the time we returned from dinner a band was setting up in the park in front of the boat. As the band played oldies I changed the oil and Denniese helped. We caught the last of it while sitting on the bow of the boat. After they finished playing, a fire works display started across the bay. A member of the loop group that we are members of dropped a car off for us so we were able to drive to West Marine and purchase some of the parts we had broken since leaving Key Largo. Sunday we walked 2 blocks to the First Baptist Church. The first song they sang was "On the Jericho Road" one of Denniese's favorites. What a great place!! People sure were nice. We still have work to do on the boat but have planes to visit Beauford tomorrow. Another Loop boat pulled in next to us and we are going to have supper in a while with them. We think we will be leaving Tuesday after all the weekend boaters go back to work. The pic is of the concert in the park.
