Having gone aground in our slip at low tide, we woke up bright and early in Morehead City so we could hang out and watch the water rise. Once we were bobbing and could get underway we headed up to our first obstacle, yet another supposedly 65' bridge. They had a nice helpful tide board that read 62' and the tide was still rising. The only thing left to do was turn around and get comfortable somewhere. After dropping anchor for a couple of hours we realized it would be 2:00pm before the tide dropped enough to get under the bridge. So we moved over to the dock at the Sanitary Restaurant and tied up for the night in deep water. 5:30am was our wake up time the next day, we made it under the bridge at low tide, and watched the sun rise behind us.
The rest of the day was fairly uneventful, we got stopped briefly at Camp LeJeune where the military was having some firing practices and they only open the canal every hour or so. We went aground, but quickly got back under way. And we ended our day at Beach House Marina in Surf City.
