For the Nicholas Sparks fans, I feel like I am part of a new novel of his! This is his stomping area. He lives in New Bern NC and his stories are centered in the area we are now cruising: New Bern, Oriental, Morehead City, Swansboro, Wrightsville Beach. And yes the area is as intriguing and romantic as he makes them sound.

This is down river a bit ... not on open water and we notice the ketch on shore. (again we miss our good camera and the lenses!)

| Up Adams Creek |
Leaving Whittaker Marina at lower tide than upon arrival, we kissed the channel bottom and needed to work our way off. Tides can be a pain but they are inevitable. Very hazy morning as we glided through the markers back into the ICW. We entered Adams Creek toward Morehead City with one Nordic Tug. It's a quiet morning with little boat traffic. The beginning of Adams Creek is lined with an upscale real estate tour.
On approach to Morehead City one can take a left to Beaufort or a slight right to Morehead. Also there is an approach here to head out to the Atlantic Ocean. Journey will stay on the ICW for a few more miles. As we turn to Morehead City we are greeted by a pod of dolphins who continue to play in the marina waters during our stay. Will we ever tire of seeing dolphins?!
