'The Neuse Juice'

Volume 51 Number 9


Commodore's Log 


It's that time of year! Or at least it feel's like it...

The days have been mild and the evenings cool and fresh. I'm thrilled because I love  being on the hook without the constant drone of fans or our tiny generator. There's just nothing better than being rocked to sleep in a quiet bay needing nothing but the cool breeze to guarantee comfort.

Our fall cruise to West Bay is coming up in just a few weeks and I'm hopeful that this cool trend will return and that the winds will be favorable. Cross your fingers everybody! 

Sharon and I have missed the last couple of cruises and frankly, I'm feeling the loss. I hope to see you all very soon.

Cruising Update

Fall Cruise - West Bay September 28-29


This might be the magical year to land on the shores of the elusive West Bay. If the stars align and the winds are in our favor, we will set our course ENE. "Hope springs eternal" is the motto for the 2024 Fall Cruise.  Just west of Cedar Island, West Bay is approximately 25 miles of sailing from Oriental. We've heard tales of a beautiful beach, a perfect place for sailors to gather and celebrate the arrival of autumn.  Join us in September as we set our course for this mythical shore.
