leaving Morehead City

Leaving Morehead City on board the USS Bataan. That is what the narrow channel looks like when viewed from what they call vulture's row.

The channel is narrow and we passed very close to the point of land on the western side of the inlet. Beautiful day, everyone on board is happy about heading home.

And looking to the east we could see Beaufort. Bruce and I should be sailing in to there in June.

In the distance you can see Cape Lookout Light. It was nice to get a good look at the entrance channel. If the weather cooperates Bruce and I will sail Spartina from the bight (where the lighthouse is) across Onslow Bay into the channel on the June trip.
