We were more than ready to leave. We left Eizabeth City and the Pasquatank River for a brisk sail across the Alabemarle Sound, down the Alligator River, and to an anchorage at the mouth of the Alligator River/Pungo River Canal. Even though we waited in Elizabeth City for "good" weather, we still had 15 to 20 kts, gusting 25, fortunately on a beam reach, for our journey across Albaemarle sound, with enough chop to get our bow splashed,
No, not many pictures - it was just too damned cold. The high today was 32, the water temperature is 35.6. ugh. This is amazing to us ---- ice on the boat during our sail. We've NEVER had that before!
We finally met other crusing boats. So, now there will be 4 of us working our way south, taking different side trips en route. I know the weather is cold everywhere, all the way to Florida. Forecast is for snow in Norfolk, tomorrow. Hopefully only cold rain here. I sure am ready to find some warmth!
