I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys again and meeting Jamie (Neutron)!

I was thinking meet up at ramp and ready to go boats in the water at 9:30. Below is the route. Basically, this takes us to a great gas dock I know. There is a bit of a no wake zone once in Beaufort, but good prices for gas and you might see horses on Carrot Island along the way. If the weather agrees we can try for Cape Lookout, but the inlet there can get dicey if the wind is up or there is a lot of traffic (play it by ear).

I'm showing 1.5 hours to get to Beaufort so assume 2 to 2.5 depending on water and no wake zones. Getting out to Cape Lookout is another 20 - 30 minute run.

This means if we leave at 9:30 we get to Beaufort at about 11:30 and can get gas and have lunch (anchor and eat on boats or go to restaurant - thoughts?).

We can then head to Cape Lookout about 1 and head back to New Bern before 3 and arrive back at the ramp at before 5. If we can't make it to Cape Lookout we can go to Sand Dollar Island or check out some of the Inter Coastal near Moorehead.

Of course I am open to any of this changing depending on time, weather and desire of the group.

if there is free dockage I would like to go to a restaurant in beaufort of morehead city... doesn't have to be fancy..

 

[bronze_10]

This is gonna be a fun run...!! We may have to start the years off with the Charleston run and end with the Beaufort run each year!!

 

[Neutron]

Along the waterfront there is free dockage in front of many of the resturants. You just have to look for open spots

Looks like a fun day ... we have a soccer tournament taking up the weekend.
