Slipped the dock lines just as the sun was coming up, to make our way towards Oriental, North Carolina. It was chilly but not as bad as we have been experiencing the last couple of days. We are still in the company of Traveler, and also Enterprise from Boston. George and Steve are ending there journey here and returning home, then coming back in Febuary to continue.
As we sailed down Pamlico Sound, other boats who had been anchored in the numerous creeks started joining the pack. I counted 20 on the horizon. There's a free dock in town, that can hold two boats, so it didn't look promising.
We travelled through rivers and openwater, with large shrimp boats lining the banks.
The weather improved all day, the sun keeping us warm, but I kept on my fleece jacket all day. Everyone has told us that this is not normal, that the cold is caused by the hurricane that came through weeks ago.
