Okay so today I am running our Trawler from Oriental North Carolina down to Wrightsville Beach North Carolina and it's gonna take about 15 hours. I'm going to do the trip solo so if you want to follow along enjoy and give me any helpful hints and I'll text in any any helpful observations.
Tonight's journey will be from Oriental to Morehead city If all goes well. I'm using speech to text on my phone so if I have some bad grammatical mistakes just because I'm keeping my eyes on the road.
I had not intended to go solo but my friends wife hurt her back today and he won't be able to Make the trip. If I can leave Oriental by about 530 I'll probably make it Ruddy duck in time to watch a little football and have a beer. That's the plan anyway if the gods of diesel and current are with me.
So this part of the trip I'm on a long boring highway 17 from Wilmington to Newbern and I will post a few pictures from the road if I'm horribly bored which I'm sure I will be and but not too many till I get the Oriental tonight at about 530.
Once on board our trawler Sand Castle I'll turn on the AIS so you can follow along.
