Fairfield Harbor

After a nice night in Back Creek, just off Adams Creek we came out to the Neuse River and turned left towards New Bern.  Yes.........we can sail!!  The winds started nice but kept dropping over the day but we didn't care.  No motors......just the quiet of using wind power.

Later on the winds went right behind us and Anne thought of trying our spinnaker for the first time......great idea, lets not try it in 30 knots!

First time with a sock and we got it to work!

As we approached our destination we ended up getting a personalized escort into the creek by Reiner on their center cockpit boat.  


We are spending a couple of days docked at Reiner & Renate's home to visit and pick up a few things that they still had for Nati.  This area is very pleasant and safe from foul weather.  We have had a lot of laughs with our friends but tomorrow will most likely be the day for heading north once again.
