Myrtle Beach, SC to Belhaven, NC

The next installment of Bateau Bleu goes to CT...

We pulled out of Myrtle Beach this morning at 6:50am. I was a bit upset since there was a nice Kadey Krogen in front of us and they left at 6:30. I always want to be the first one off the dock in the morning. Oh well, not today.

We ran about an hour up the ICW to the NC boarder and ran out the Little River Inlet. We had planned go out around Cape Fear on our way to Beaufort, but it was still a bit windy and the seas were still on the nose and bumpy. So we quickly turned and came in at Bald Head Island and ran the short distance up the ICW to Masonboro Inlet. We came back out at Masonboro about an hour later and ran about 80 miles to Beaufort, NC. Once back on the ICW we continued on to Jarrett Bay where fuel again was under $2 a gallon at $1.92. We topped off the tanks at Jarrett Bay and ran for another 3 hours up to Belhaven, NC.

We covered another 220 miles today in just over 9 hours. The boat is running great and all has gone to plan so far. The weather does not look good after Wednesday, so stay tuned.
