This is us leaving our marina Thursday morning, catching a beautiful sunrise on the water. We had just rounded the first daymarkers and were headed out, what a great start to a great first day of our trip.

Captain Cecil, from Oriental, in Adams Creek giving us a portside pass.

Old ugly working boat along the canal.

The tugboats in Morehead City Turnaround Basin. Notice the Jeep in between the boats to get an idea how big they are. (Mom, remember these?)
