New Bern, NC

 

Time is winding down for our friends at our dock.  Kris & Dean were finished with their dinghy chaps - time to splash the dink.  Since we didn't have a vehicle with a trailer hitch, Jerry was called upon to come over and tow the trailer next door to the ramp.

 

Kris bringing the new dinghy/chaps/motor ensemble back to their boat.  Look at that calm still water and lovely heavy duty chaps! 

 

Everyone chatting on the dock for a bit.

 

Then it was time to say our goodbyes to Kris and Dean - time for us to head to Bridgeton Boatworks for haul out tomorrow.  (We'll see everyone else briefly when we return after haulout.)

 

Uneventful motoring up the Neuse River - no wind at all.  Passing the Minnesott ferry...

 

And approaching the bridges at New Bern.

 

We splashed the dinghy just to test it out.  Cranked right up after being stored all summer!  Fun to be out on the water again.

 

Beautiful sunset looking towards New Bern.
