"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore,.....Dream,.......Discover."

Mark Twain

Across the Abermarle Sound

                                                                 Great Day

                                                   Historic home, Elizabeth City,NC

                                          Main Street, lined with many interesting buildings
                                                  dating back to 1800s

Hidden away tied to the dock 
 

    We got up early, even earlier since they put the clock back last night to get the first bridge opening leaving Elizabeth City. This passage has a reputation of being rough, most of the time, but today it was fairly smooth. It started to rain when we got out in the sound, and the temperature kept dropping but it actually was a great day. We were bundled up, only warm clothes we have, track pants and sweaters but still felt chilly.


   After what seemed like a long day but was only a few hours we arrived at the mouth of the Alligator river and chose to splurge and pull into a marina, something we haven,t done in a while. Have to get diesel and get the boat pumped out, and electricity for the heater sure sounds good.
  There is another noreaster coming so we have to move to get out of it,s path.
