7/1/07 - I slept in this morning and then walked over to a restaurant across the street. I sat down and ordered when Crystal walked up to me. She and her housemates were there eating as well. After breakfast, I walked over to the bathroom at the marina and took a shower before heading off. I went for most of the afternoon but decided to stop early at Wrightsville Beach because there was an excellent anchorage and I was tired. I anchored and decided to clean off the algae and barnacles from the bottom of the hull. I took and old rag with me when I jumped in to do the work. It worked poorly so I had the idea of using a credit card. It would be hard enough to scrape off the stuff on the hull but not so hard that it would scratch my hull. That worked very well and I got the job done in just over a half hour. I reset my anchor after someone pulled in pretty close to me in the anchorage just to be safe.
