It's a little chilly here! We made an early morning departure from New Bern where it was 35 degrees. Gorgeous sunrise over the Neuse River....

We did a 9 1/2 hr day and anchored off Swansboro, NC. This must be the 5th time we have dropped anchor there but have never gone into town. After another stop (our 4th) in Wrightsville Beach, NC we ran down the Cape Fear River. Fortunately, we were going with the tide.

The Marine Corps Camp Lejeune has a firing range which straddles the ICW. Although we have never encountered it, the ICW is sometimes closed while they do live firings across it (with BIG guns!).
