We left Swansboro on Thursday, a very windy day, in search of a more protected anchorage and a good nights sleep. We drove to Mile Hammock Bay anchorage, which is adjacent to Camp LeJeune and used for military manoeuvres. The Osprey jet helicopters flew over our boat until about 10 p.m., noisy, but pretty cool to see. Today we motored to Wrightsville Beach, about 40 miles, which took us longer than we thought because we didn't time the bridge openings correctly. I'm not sure we can move fast enough to get through them all without delay though. Wrightsville is the biggest town we've been in for awhile. Lots of boats, services, people. John went ashore this afternoon while I did school with the kids. We'll await his verdict on all going ashore tomorrow, or continuing on to our next port.
Here's a picture of the Osprey and a couple of interesting sights along the ICW.

We see that you're moving- did you get the new GPS? Or is it waiting somewhere? Hope the weather is warmer- sunny here, but cool. Spent the pm digging in sheep manure :-))
Lovely photo of you Lex and the giraffe gave me a start at first! LAA x
