Beaufort

We wake up and head to the showers and find a nice present on one of our previously neatly coiled dock lines, done by Austin, a River Dunes employee. Not something you would see me do. Anyway a heron overnight left us a not so nice deposit.

Before we left I disconnected our raw water cooling pump hose. Then I connect our inflatable pump and blow lots of air out through the intake to push out any grass or debris that could be possibly choking off the water flow. After I start the engine the exhaust looks to be pushing out the normal amount of water.

The Autopilot seems to be working fine now, not that I fully trust it.

We have a nice day with moderate winds and motor-sail most of the day and get to Town Creek Marina in Beaufort mid-afternoon. The new 65 foot clearance Gallants Channel Bridge has just recently opened. The old draw bridge is still there in permanent open mode, until they remove it.

We walk to Piggy-Wiggy to pick up some food items.
