Making Progress

The Thanksgiving dinner became a reality courtesy of "Right Boat" and "Bad Dog". We were also joined by "Sanuk II" from Austria and "Wings" from "The Deadliest Catch"(Really,I was cold talking to them).We locked through at South Mills for the hop to Elizabeth City. There was only one boat at the docks which was fortunate because our bow in entry was concluded by a stern entry 2 slips down without ever exiting the pilings. A miscalculation on my part to say the least, but we did it without touching anything. Well almost nothing, Captain Dick did have sea gull excrement on his hand while brilliantly maneuvering the anchor past the pilings.
Saturday we had nice wind 12-15kts WNW to sail to the beginning of the Alligator-Pungo Canal. At the bottom of the river we got a call from "C-Note" whose main engine had failed and was anchored. He was going to use his dinghy to move his boat but was concerned that he was short on gas. We gave him the gas we had for "Portie", which I think qualifies as another "Portie to the Rescue".
Today we made it to Goose Creek in preparation of picking George,from "Passages", up in Oriental tomorrow. We are hoping to be able to do some offshore but the weather doesn't look conducive yet.
Laurie is having fun with her friend,Janet and visiting Elena,her sister and mother. I am guessing it wasn't 29 degrees there this morning.
