Mile Hammock

We spent two nights in the Mile Hammock anchorage (Camp Lejeune) in North Carolina. There were 8 sailboats who pulled in Friday afternoon and decided to ride out the passing of yet another cold front on Saturday evening. We know well that cold fronts in April can be very nasty in coastal North Carolina. Yesterday's was no exception. It passed over us right on schedule at 8:30 PM with gale force gusts and some rain. The scary part of these spring fronts is the possibility of tornadoes. So we started listening to our local New Bern PBS station around 6:00 pm for some Lake Woebegone and weather updates. The tornado sighting reports started right away. The reported locations are usually places we don't know like East Buttcrack, so we always have our North Carolina road map aboard. Of course we have yet to figure out what we would do if a tornado actually passed near or over us. Go for a swim I guess. Anyhow we are headed for Cedar Creek tonight and then home tomorrow. Yea!
