All good things must come to an end and so it is with our
time with Wolfgang and Denise. A small weather window opened which will
allow Moony to get as far South as Charleston or Beaufort (SC). So, we
headed for Mona Black marina to ready Moony for her voyage trip south.
Jule III was going to accompany Moony for a while in the Cape Fear River,
but Ann's recent bout with pancreatitus made that less than ideal.
Moony shoved off at 1155 with a fair current in Snows Cut and a foul
current in the river.

Bob and Ann hopped in the car and rushed
to Snows Cut (like we did last year) and waved to Moony. Then we rushed
to the Southport Ferry and tried to catch up with them. Like last year
they had to heave to for a couple of minutes until the ferry caught up
(like last year). Jule III should be traveling with them. Sigh!

We got off the ferry and hurried to the Southport fishing
pier to get our last wave with Moony. By now the current has turned
fair and she was moving at a good spend. We called on the VHF and said
our good-bye's. Ann and Denise cried (on the VHF!). Wolfgang and Bob
were cool. Yeah, sure. We promised to meet them in Vero Beach (us by
car) within the next several weeks. When we got home, Levi, Gina, and
Samantha Jane were sad. They missed their new friends.
