Sept 29 - Morehead City Yacht Basin Marina (Morehead City, NC)
As I've been pushing along at a pretty good clip since departing Norfolk, I decided to take a day off to work on some article deadlines and do a little sightseeing. After taking care of business in the morning, I biked over to the town of Beaufort to check out the Maritime Museum http://www.ncmaritimemuseums.com/beaufort.html . It’s been 4 or 5 years since my last visit and it was great then, but I particularly wanted to see the artifacts salvaged from Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge http://www.ncmaritimemuseums.com/beaufort/exhibits.html the remains of which was located just outside Beaufort Inlet. If you like maritime history, pirates, or both this is a must see when transiting the area – highly recommended.
