We got a later start today than normal as Mattias bought the outboard engine yesterday and tested it this morning. We also had to get to the store for more supplies and Mattias went to the marine store for some extra fuses that had burned out. The Burley came in handy again to cart around the groceries and gas for outboard etc. when attached to the complimentary marine bike.
So we departed Oriental at around 12:30 after lunchtime. Did a choppy short hike through 2-3 foot waves thru the rest of the Neuse River and it evened out once we got to Adams Creek. Our journey from Adams Creek to Core Creek was only about 3-4 hours long but once we got to Adams Creek, and into Core Creek we were joined by several dolphin. There are expansive shallow spots including one where a sailboat had grounded and Mattias could not join us in the entertainment or excitement as he was trying to navigate around us moving around the boat getting a closer look trying to avoid grounding Windfall! The girls and I had fun though. I tried to take photos but the dolpins were too fast as they went up and dived down and of course, my camera battery died. Better luck next time!
We arrived to Morehead Creek Yacht Basin close to dark and needed a toilet tank pump out something fierce. Our friends on Patience have anchored some 5 miles south but we are too late to meet them this evening and will meet up with them tomorrow.
I will try to get these photos posted tonight of the past few days if possible.
More later,
Carrie

Can you caption your photographs so we can get the details of who and what is going on in each photo? Who are the people in the photograph with the kids, and what is Liv eating.. oysters? What are the kids doing on the little raft-like thing? Too bad about the dolphins, but as you go further south you might see a bunch more.
