Good Report on Morehead City Yacht Basin (Statute Mile 204)
I’m glad Captains Nita and Rick found such a warm welcome at Morhead City Yacht Basin. As I’ve often said, after its total rebuild several years ago, this is one of the BEST marinas from North Carolina to New Orleans. And, of course, they are also a SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR!
MOREHEAD CITY (9/3 – 9/8, TS Hanna). We went to the MC Yacht Basin there because it is on the north side of US 70 and better protected than the marinas along the waterfront. They took us in with a warning that we might have to evacuate, but were very friendly and helpful. Many of the slip owners were taking their boats up to Core Creek for haul out, while some others (like us) were coming in for refuge! The town was semi-closed, but we enjoyed suppers at Floyd’s, Sanitary Seafood, and the Ice House. There is a courtesy car available (for $10 rental) for grocery and other shopping. About 0600 Saturday morning we had gusts to better that 60 mph. Several of us had canvas casualties, but no serious damage.
Regards, Nita and Rick George aboard MV Hale Kai
