Sure, it would be easy to complain about the fact that the temperatures have been dropping down to the low 30s. That the highs, at times, have been in the high 40s. That the condensation at night inside the boat from our breathing makes it "rain" inside in the morning.
It would be easy to lament about the fact that we ran out of propane for our stove two days ago and have been using the grill to boil water for tea and coffee and have had to cook outside even though it is freezing. We could also bum out over the fact that we are sailing a tightrope on the ICW through North Carolina with the risk of running aground any minute that you fail to focus your utmost attention on the magenta thread on the chart that denotes the waterway south.
We could feel a bit unnerved by the 34 knots gusts of yesterday that had the boat heeled over to 20+ degrees and saw us motor sailing at near ten knots down the Neuse River.

BUT . . . none of that matters much tonight. We're in a beautiful anchorage, Hammock Bay, on the grounds of the Camp Lejune Marine Training Center, AND we saw this guy, and a couple of his buddies, on our way down here this morning . . .
Can't wait to get up tomorrow and do it all again. Hopefully we'll see some more dolphins!! Southward Ho!!!!!!!!!!!! It has to get warmer soon.
