First Cruise
My sympathies in losing your fathers. My Dad has been gone almost 30 years and I still think of him daily, currently enjoying a book of poetry he immensely enjoyed - lots of his margin notes and even some editing....so personal. What a gift to remember the high character, patriotism, servant-leadership, and deep faith of a great Dad! I hope you find many years ahead of gratitude for your fathers.
First Cruise - from New Bern? Awesome opportunity! This weekend you should journey to River Dunes for great hospitality just down river from you. Then head for Bath on the Pamlico - (but the state dock was closed two weeks ago), or head for Belhaven (and Spoon River restaurant, perhaps before or after cocktail's at the bar across the street). I've visited Bath many times sometimes on the way to River Forest Manor at Belhaven, and it's easy, generally with good surface water conditions in our wonderfully mostly protected rivers in North Carolina.
Norfolk and points north are great for next year, but with NW winds more frequent fall and winter, hanging close to home is a great plan. Edenton and Elizabeth City are good venues for a slightly longer NC fall cruise. Besides, "Nothing could be finer to cruise in Caroilna!"
And if we can love our time together on a Camano 31, your spacious trawler should afford a regal cruise experience.
Best wishes for great NC fall cruising!
