Another day on the waterways. We left Mile Hammock early this morning with all our neighbors, about 7 boats finally arrived by last evening. Away we went to get the next bridge that opened only on the hour and half hour. Dun-da, dun-da, dun-da, dun-da - hear the theme to "Jaws" - boats closing in on the swing bridge. Oops. swing bridge is under repair. So we all slowed down, circling, waiting, anchoring. Then from the swing bridge, "Boats traveling north we're going do an experimental opening so you can go through." "David (who was just employing the anchor), we're going!" "Now?!?" from David. yep, now.
One oddity on the way up-stream:

We couldn't quite figure out what was going on here. Interesting. There was skinny water and a couple of shoaling alerts on our way when the ICW goes between Emerald Isle and the NC mainland but otherwise pretty uneventful. We're on a dock at Morehead City Docks.
A great and lovely visit and dinner with Suzanne and Lee. They took us to the food store and liquor store (what is a sailor without rum, I ask us all?) then treated us to dinner at The Parrot, a lovely restaurant with delicious food. Good company. Good food. Good conversation. We came back to Grace for dessert of strawberries and yogurt. Suzanne brought us a NYTimes for our reading pleasure. They left for the drive home and we went to bed.
