Overall the weather gods have been pretty good to us so far. No or light winds when in the canals and at least some wind in the Sounds or rivers so we can either motor/sail or sail. Also it has been warm for the time being.
On the way down the Pasquotank River we almost had a drive-by collision! Yep, Dave and Perk would have liked this meeting. Not the biggest buck in the world but he was looking at a 3-4 mile swim too!

A couple of days ago we decided to make a run up to Bath, NC. We had heard some good things about the oldest town in NC and figured, why not? After motoring down the Alligator-Pungo Canal the wind eventually came up and we were able to have a good sail to the Pamlico River and then had a slow DDW (dead-down-wind) sail up the river. We made it late in the afternoon and are still here. In reality there isn't a whole lot in town (1 pizza restaurant, the Country Kitchen, some historical markers and approximately 238 folks) but the people are friendly and we are anchored out if front of a little marina that sells $4 burgers.
