day twenty-three - back to the ramp


Up before dawn.  Stow the sleeping gear, break down the boom tent.  Gusts were so strong yesterday evening the anchor, ten feet of chain, the five pound mushroom anchor and a couple of feet of line were buried in the soft mud.


Under power at 6:00, glassy calm water.  Hauled out at 7:00.  Take my time breaking down the rig.


Some days with gusty winds, others with heavy rains.  Cape Lookout, Oriental, Belhaven and Washington, some of my favorite places to visit.  I met some interesting and good people along the way, saw some old friends.  And, oh yeah, can't forget the stowaway snake.
