We are underway again.  Left the dock at Masonborro YC at around 8am and stopped for fuel at Wrightsville Beach.  Wrightsville Beach seems to be a very affluent area with lots of very nice homes and marinas etc.  Our plan is to go just 37 miles today to a large anchorage just NW of the New River Inlet (south of Moorhead City by about 40 miles).  Last night low temp was around 50 and it's currently around 55 with SW winds around 15.  The wind is supposed to "haul" around (CW) to the west and then NW and begin blowing this afternoon and evening. Well,  its now 6:30pm and the wind did haul - and picked up to 15 to 25 from the NW.  We dropped the anchor (both of them) at about 5pm and have been running the generator (for heat ever since).  The temp has dropped to around 40. It's nice to be in safe.  It is howling outside and the boat is healing (under bare poles) from side to side.  Tomorrow will be a long day to get past Moorehead City and up to Adams Creek.  From Moorehead City on will be familiar territory for me from my trip there two years ago.
