| Not sure of what they were doing but they seemed enthusiastic. |
It was a long day, 54 NM but we left at 7:00 am and made it to Homer Smith by 3:00 pm. The morning was calm but the winds came up in the afternoon, 20 kts and higher in gusts. Luckily, the winds were mostly behind us so it didn’t pose a problem. The Bob423 track was good all the way, no problems there.

| You can’t see the ocean anymore from G65A, just north of New River on the ICW |
We heard firing activity in Camp Lejeune and were passed by marines on the ICW but we were not delayed. In the 12 years we’ve been doing this we’ve never been delayed passing through this area yet.

| The new clubhouse is almost ready! Just a few tiles to adjust. |
Homer Smith is a good place to take on fuel and to get a pump-out which we did. Our slip was waiting for us and the directions and slip number with an attached map were emailed to us the previous day so we knew in advance exactly where to go. I wished all marinas did that.
The new clubhouse is done! It’s not quite ready for use yet, they have to replace some of the tiles in the bathrooms but it’s otherwise ready. I’ll take a tour Thursday and report back with photos on how it looks. We’ll do our last provisioning Thursday using the free courtesy car provided by the marina and use the free laundromat, busy day.
