05 May 2013, Arriving at Homeport, 34 02.628 N/ 077 53.484 W

Today, we waited for the current to start flooding on the River before we left for the Carolina Beach. The wind was still strong from the NE but the current never flooded; for the most part it was slack. The trip was short and uneventful. Weather calmed down a bit as we approached our slip. We knew we were near when we saw Tortuga on the T head and some movement on the docks.
We had a bunch of Mona Black folks waiting for our arrival. Gene retrieved our bow lines while Randy and Bill secured the springs and the stern line. Wow, we are tied up. Now all we have to do is take a half of ton off stuff of the boat. We continually overpack. No more!! It is good to be back and we are tired. Tomorrow Gene will drive us back to get our car.
