With winds predicted out of the north we expected a smooth
ride down the Neuse - and that we got! If we had chosen to reach Cedar Creek
yesterday, we would have faced 10 to 15 on the nose, probably more since the
wind is always more than predicted when in the middle of the Neuse. Well, we're
in no hurry and we'd rather have a smooth ride than saving a day of motoring.
Besides, with the wind behind us we even got some sailing in (as in, no motor!)
That's a rarity on the ICW where you're usually trying to make time to a
scheduled marina or anchorage.
Tonight we're in Cedar Creek with only three other boats and
there could be at least 100 boats here without being crowded. It's a huge,
protected anchorage and impossible to drag. It's as still as a lake tonight and
the anchorage even has a convenient Hoolie relief at a nearby, sandy beach.

We'll have a quiet night, we expect, and then we'll have 52
miles to travel on Friday to reach Swan Point Marina. We would have anchored at
Mile Hammock Bay but that's in Camp Legume and there's no shore access for
Hoolie. Hopefully we'll get off by 7:30, a long day.
