The trip from Beaufort to Swansboro was uneventful. We sailed towards the bridge, aiming to arrive in time for the scheduled crossing.
Swansboro was a small residential town. We stayed at the city docks. Their computers were not working, and it seems we were not charged for the docks.
Dave, a fan of Wally, bought pizza for everyone. I went back to the boat and went to bed early. The next morning, departure was challenging due to the current. We went to an anchorage at Hammock Bay. A pleasant anchor.
The next morning, we departed for a 33-mile ride to Wrightsville Beach for two nights. Winds were strong, and tides were 4 feet, making anchoring in a crowded anchorage challenging.
I was going to refuel, but the winds were blowing me off the dock.
After two attempts, I gave up and anchored at another location nearby. I dinghy into town, but not much is happening after dark.
The next day, we got together for lunch at Oceanic, and I walked on the beach back to my dinghy. The others took the dinghy directly to Oceanic.
On my way back, I walked on a large beach and flew the drone.
