Camden Point Awaits

 Leaving the Great Bridge tie up was a small adventure but after a reset of both engines, we got underway. Our dear friend Richard Nye on the Selene 57 known as Untethered was at Atlantic Yacht Basin (aka…AYB) and grabbed a picture of us as we passed under the bridge.

Once you leave this spot everyone is playing catch up and doing a one whistle or two whistle pass.  The line of boats would come and go.  I think the most we had were five at once and while we passed one or two there were a few that were in a bigger hurry than us.

Camden Point off the Broad Creek Extension is a favorite anchorage for us and we will be in by 3 or 3:30 at our current speed so again…..no need to rush.  We had a few bridges to contend with today but since it is a Saturday they are pretty much opening on demand so there is no waiting.

The captain is in his sweet spot today.  He loves driving from the fly bridge and there is enough sun to keep him warm.  If that fails, he has his two co captains that will help keep his mind off being cold.  Jaxon and Cooper seem to be adjusting well.

We passed by Coinjock today and my first inclination was to text a friend that would fly in for lunch at the marina there on occasion.  Great to catch up.  

So when it comes to trawlers versus sailboats, we have to put up with noise……..yes the engines run all day and sometimes the generator as well.  In the sailboat we could or would on occasion turn off the engines (if the sails were deployed) and listen to the water lapping along the boat.  A peaceful sound for sure.  Right now that is the only negative I can think of as most of the day I get to work in the galley or wash a load of clothes while underway.  Oh and did I forget to mention that I can cook a nice dinner or lunch while underway?  But……I still love Ti Amo and while I miss her, I am thankful for this Paradigm Shift at this point in our lives and all the comforts we have acquired.
