Two days in a row we got out of bed early and got a start on the day. I made grits for breakfast and we got ready to head out and hitchhike to the island. We checked the surf report and the wind was all over it and it was closing out, so no surf today. Still we were hoping to go to the Wright Brothers monument.We walked up to the main road and put our thumbs out it didn't take but about 10 minutes and we scored a ride all the way to the monument. That was about 15 miles, what a good way to start the day. Yeah we couldn't beleive our luck, a painter and his crew had picked us up and took us all the way there.This was a awesome place, they had a huge  monument, a life size sculpture of the plane and the people, markers that showed where they had done the flight, plus replica's of the buildings they had there. I didn't realize they had made 4 flights on Dec.17,1903  and had gone 852 feet in 59 seconds. Inside the museum they had a lifesize replica of the plane made out of  the original materials. I am gonna try to post pictures differently today. Well that didn't work I was hoping they would post below my words. We left the Wright Brothers museum and got picked up by some newlyweds who had seen us there and dropped off at a local surf shop called Sceret Spot. After leaving there we walked 4 blocks to check out the waves, just as we thought no surf. Next ride we got was a taxi van. The lady told us not to tell her boss or she would be in trouble, our lips are sealed.. She dropped us off at Jockey State Park, the largest sand dunes on the east coast. Off with our shoes, to feel the sand on our feet, and to make walking easier..The dunes are 5 miles long and I don't know how high but the the first hill had me breathing hard. It made you feel like you were in the Sahara Desert. Sand for miles plus a great view of the ocean and city below.The only thing we needed was carboard to slide down the hills. They have hand gliding lessons here, so that tells you how high they are..Bella loved it too, what a great place to run around.Out to the road we stuck out our thumbs again and got picked up by a man who didn't speak English.  He took us to the Dollar Tree so I could pick up some shelf safe milk. As we were leaving there and were getting out the sign Carl had made us, a man asked if we are going over the bridge, and says he will give us a ride if we wait. Wait we did, we couldn't believe our luck.. We loaded into his SUV and he took us all the way to our boat.. That's right, right up to the dock..Oh happy day... This was an end to the perfect day.. We were able to see all we wanted to and got real, I mean real lucky with rides. I think having Bella with us helps, and the sign didn't hurt.. Back on the boat it was an early night after a full day of smiles as wide as the ocean. Heading out at 7:30am we had to make 47 miles today. I knew the day would be wonderful as as soon as we reached the channel we were surrounded by dolphins. Not just a couple, but a whole pod, maybe 10, they swam on both sides of the boat. Sailors say its good luck , so I knew it would be a good day at sea. Soon after that the winds picked up and we set sails.. Sailing healed over at about 6.5 knots and moving right along. I even got a picture of the boat sailing. We reached Cape Hatteras by late afternoon, got a dock and a shower. Here we stay until we leave this morning. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but the water is very skinny in Pamlico Sound so I had to help with finding markers and by time we were in deep enough water I didn't have any internet..
