Hey gang...this trip will open soon but in the meantime let's start letting people who are 'in' be able to start discussing carpooling from the NE or FL as well as those who want to carpool from the airport in RDU to Morehead (MHC).
So let us know if you WANT to carpool and if you have a car or need someone with a car. If flying in let us know if you plan to rent a car and/or want to share with someone who rents a car.
NOTES & TIPS TO HELP IN YOUR PLANNING:
- You can fly to RDU Raleigh or New Bern but I recommend RDU for cheaper rates or New Bern for being closer.
- Unless you want to check out of the hotel on the 25th and then dive and then drive ...you will need to plan to stay an extra night ie the 25th and depart the 26th.
- The earliest we could be back on the 25th if you are driving home that night could be approx 2-3pm but probably later. We can not control the seas, nor the wrecks we see each day because we have to juggle other divers and viz and conditions. So we try to do the closest wrecks on the last day so we have the shortest ride back but its not always possible to do so.
- NOTE: If flying out of RDU you can safely leave Moorhead/Atlantic Beach around 11 am or even 10:30 am ON THE 26th get early lunch in Goldsboro at our FAV BBQ sandwich place Wilbers and then drive to the airport arriving around 3 stopping for lunch and allowing for some traffic. You can drop a car and still make a flight EASILY at 6 or 7 or even earlier. It is 3-4 hrs from ABeach to RDU so flying the same day as leaving for the airport is EASY especially going WEST.
