After a night at Centerville Marina Shawnee headed east then south, across Currituck Sound back into the canal - ICW and to North Carolina to the famousCoinjock. Reuben was ready for a prime rib.
Before. and After -
He ate the whole thing!
On down the ICW you see a lot of things. This is 120-foot cruiser with his tender in tow just easing out! You can see it's in front of another large yacht.
A barge. This time of year the ICW is pretty crowded.
Some insurance policies don't cover boats for hurricanes or storms down the ICW until after Nov 1, but that doesn't seem to be stopping a ton of boats this year.
Another Island Packet, I think, like Shawnee - no yellow Tweety on the stern.
:
Note few are sailing. The waters show how calm it is with little wind.
If you see whitecaps in a picture then the wind is at least 14k
anchorage one night.
Always light appetizers and a drink at the end of the hard day of boating.
On to Belhaven where they stayed at the town dock.
In Belhaven, NC there is a grand restored house used for events, River Forest Manor https://riverforestmanor.com/. Many times we've walked the grounds. For years it was under construction. Now it's open.
Pretty calm this evening. Drew walking back to the cockpit.
The next day they sailed to Oriental and turned off the engine!! The wind was taking them to 6.4 K!
Map shows Belhaven to River Dunes Resort near Oriental. One more leg to Moorehead City on the NC coast.
The captainlikes those calm waters. Fair winds.
No things to fix ... at the moment.
[The repaired Espar heater https://esparparts.com/ is being mailed to Moorehead City where Drew will install it. "Just take a couple of hours."]
