October 28, 2015 0900, Cloudy,
rain showers, winds ENE 15-20.
Not a good day to venture out
into the Pasquotank and Albemarle Sound so we will sit here today waiting for
more favorable winds. Gus is on duty, the ‘monkey man’ is here, and other
boaters are walking the pier visiting new friends.
If we left today, it’s likely
that east northeast winds would pile water up on our nose in Albemarle Sound making
for an unpleasant passage to the Alligator River and beyond to our anticipated
anchorage off Tuckahoe Point just north of the entrance to the Alligator -
River Pungo River Canal, aptly named since the canal connects those two rivers.
So today we passed a pleasant day
doing pretty much nothing. That east wind kept the boat rather ‘busy’. I could
just barely get off the boat and Emily could not for sure. Tomorrow the wind is
supposed to moderate and swing around to the west.
So for now, I’ll just say
adios.
