We did get under way again early Friday morning. For the last two days we have crossed some very large bodies of water. The winds have been 15 to 20 knots in the afternoons so we have been leaving early and anchoring early to avoid the rough waters. When we left Oriental we had to finish crossing the Pamlico Sound. We anchored Friday night in the Upper Dowry Creek just up from Belhaven NC.. Today we traveled the Pungo River and we are now anchored just off Alligator River in South Lake. We hope the winds are better tomorrow as predicted so we can cross the Albermarle Sound on our way to the Dismal Swamp Canal. Temperatures here have really dropped the last 24 hours. The high today is only 74 and no more than 76 for the next few days. It is full moon now and the lunar moon causes greater tide shifts. The captain is busy reading the tide charts and listening to NOAA.
