Pamlico Sound


Sunday, May 18, 2015

Left Campbell Creek after the usual caffeine fix and proceeded north with light S winds, entered the Pamlico River and tried sailing with jib. Did not last long, winds too light. Motored to Wades Point. Go left to continue on the ICW. Go right out into Pamlico Sound, a body of water roughly the size of the Chesapeake Bay. An alternative route back to Virginia and an opportunity to stop in Ockracoke, NC, an all-time favorite place for us.

So, we went right.

Out into the Sound proper we deployed the jib and made for Swan Quarter Bay, where big ferry boats go from there to Ockracoke and back daily. Anchored off channel in strong SSW winds which blew hard all night.

We are on an adventure now for sure.

Simple dinner of egg noodles and white sauce. Early to bed.

Dream well.
