We left the Pungo Creek Anchorage about 7:45 this morning and it was cold and drizzly but we had no problems. The anchor came up right nicely and it was an uneventful day. We motor sailed across the Pamlico River and Neuse River in 1 foot or less waves. By the way, the Neuse River is the widest River in North America at 6 miles across at the mouth of the river. The free dockage at Oriental was full and we decided that with weather coming our way, it’d be better to head across the Neuse and duck into Adams Creek. After crossing it we entered Adams Creek and anchored near the sunken sailboat by the range that boats use to line up on. I made grill cheese sandwiches on my homemade bread and a creamy tomato basil soup for dinner. Quiet evening.  Watched a sailboat come in and anchor after dark on the other side of the wreck.
