Albemarle Sound to Elizabeth City

The last few days have been very scenic and enjoyable. I have not blogged for several days and have much to share.  This blog will cover the Albermale Sound to the small free dock at Elizabeth City NC which we made on Sunday May 26th. The Albermale is a huge and sometimes very rough body of water.  People wait to cross this large open area. We left out early on Sunday morning and found the seas a bit rough for half of the crossing. The waves were 3 to 4 feet  and then some. The sailboat behind us turned back for the cove but of course we did continue on.  We heard others on the radio who were also experiencing the wild ride.  After late morning the seas did calm down some and we made our way into Elizabeth City.  This is a small town with a free dock that welcomes visitors to its shores.  It is know as  "The Harbor of Hospitality"  and a group has formed called the "Rose Buddies".  Rose bushes are planned along the walkwalk. We stayed Sunday here and enjoyed the company of several other boaters.
