Forks in the road

3am, see the time stamp.
We are tied up in Morehead City and the wind is blowing 10 – 15 knots. I just went and added a second spring line and pulled in some cushions.
Heather and I are discussing our plans. We are anxious about how to go next, off shore or down the ICW. We are wide awake now, she is catching up on her Words with friends. I am doing this, obvious. Either way will be fine it is just new.
What do you do when the road less traveled has forks?
