    14 miles today. Total for our trip, 512.5. I burned about 120 gals of gas. We launched on May 15th, and returned on May 30th, so 15 days of travel. All in all, made pretty good time and had some nice weather for most the trip. Today we left Cape Lookout and Barden Inlet, traveling in the ocean along the Shackleford Banks shore, before turning into the Beaufort Inlet and then continuing up the Morehead City Harbor Channel to the Radio Island Boat Ramp. Mike and Bill actually detoured a bit into Taylor Creek. You can see my separate post in regards to their detour. I took a few photos of another wild horse, Fort Macon and some USCG boats. This afternoon Bill’s brother Mark and his wife Myra provided a N. Carolina BBQ and some other great food for supper. Bill will spend a day or two with his brother, while Mike and I left for home. (Bill lives in S. Carolina, while Mike also lives in Wisconsin.)Read more
