It looks as if we will have an opportunity to leave Beaufort on Saturday, round Cape Hatteras, and enter the Chesapeake Bay on Sunday afternoon. The entire trip is just over 200 nautical miles and should take us about 36 hours. Now that the days are longer we should be able to leave just as the sun is rising and tie up to the dock at Cape Charles before dark. Of course, this all depends on the weather and is subject to change. 
We had some good luck yesterday and found the single bathroom and washing machine available. We did our laundry and were each able to shower. It was a blustery day here and there wasn’t much happening at the fishing end of the business here. We suspect that is why the facilities were available. In the afternoon we took the marina’s loaner car to the Piggly Wiggly for a few provisions and were back within a half hour.
Two of our dock neighbors are traveling on the Intracoastal Waterway and left the dock this morning. One boat had a nice young couple from Maine who took time off of work to take a trip to the Bahamas. They left Maine in November and have to be back in Maine by May 1st. It has been quite an adventure for them.
