Beaufort to Church Creek

 I got up early at 8 to try to catch the current so it would favour me.  It did work for a while but with such a long run, parts of the trip would be fighting the current.  

My plan was to anchor at Stream boat landing   I arrived at 3 and decided to go further and I ended up at Church Creek at 5pm   

I hat put out my jib and at MM 491 was a barge that appeared to be approaching so I sailed to past port to port   It looked like she was not giving me much space and I steered to the starboard ending up in a dead end and had to tack to avoid grounding   It turned out the barge was anchored!



Got to Church Creek at 5 with 9.5 hours on the Yanmar,  The day was overcast   The anchorage was buggy with these small gnat type bugs that I’ve been seeing recently.
