May 12, Sunshine's trip finally began at 7:10am. We were a little later than expected due to weather forecasts which included gale force winds and 20 foot seas off the coast of North Carolina. After consulting with Ron we decided the conditions would not be too bad inside the ICW. So we left Wilmington with three oranges which Connie said we must take to avoid returning with scurvy. We got along quite well. We made 95 miles from Wilmington Marine Center to Coral Bay Marina in Moorehead City where we met up with the Wades. We laid over here today due to continuing high winds. We plan to leave in the morning to go to Bellhaven, NC.
