A fairly quiet day after the busyness of yesterday. We left Beaufort shortly after 8, went under
a drawbridge, down a long cut and river that was very peaceful before entering
Pamlico Sound. There the fun began as we
were tossed amongst the 2-3 foot swells.
I had already been down to fix us lunch earlier, thank goodness as it
wasn’t safe to move about the boat during that hour and a half. Not bad, just not comfortable. We both built some arm muscles holding
on. As soon as we turned toward Pamlico
River the swells were coming from our aft corner and became much more
manageable. After we entered the river
things quieted down again. We are alone
in our anchorage tonight with lots of “swing” room. It’s going to be a quiet night.
For your viewing pleasure, today we have, once again the
changing scenery – now we have forests coming right down to the water. They looked very inviting to take a stroll
through as the undergrowth was not dense.
There were some pretty houses, of course, along the cut (hey
– I gave you a break yesterday from houses, so bear with me, I happen to like
them :P)
Such a different style!
I love the colors!
Another usual style!
We saw more eagles nesting but couldn’t get a clear
picture. We did see this great duck
blind. Neat!
Once we entered the sound we were mostly alone on the water
so were quite surprised to find a traffic jam out in the middle – with four
boats going four different directions but meeting at one point in a huge sound!
(We are the 4th) this is before it got rough!
Isn't she pretty?
It only rained for about 10 minutes today – just as I was
dropping the anchor! Can’t complain
though – it’s the first time I’ve had to drop it in the rain. I’ll take rain over wind any day!
Anchored in Gale Creek just off Bay River.
