Unfortunately, we can't control the weather.  We spend an extra day at the Coinjock marina as the winds picked up to over 30 Knots.  Along with a bunch of other boats who stayed an extra day for the same reason, we left with everyone else on Wednesday and made it to Bellview NC.  An early start on Thursday morning and here we are at Spooners Creek Marina, just west of Beaufort NC.  We have elected to stay at marinas instead of anchoring out as the winds and low temps just make things uncomfortable.  Had our first major dolphin sightings today as we struggled through a confusing set of buoys and markers through Beaufort.  Mavourneen is running perfectly, no problems at all -- hope that trend continues.
