We've reached the Alligator river and are bedded in for the night. After leaving Belhaven this morning, shortly after refueling and picking up a few provisions, we motored through the long Alligator-Pungo River Canal and we were able to raise the sails for a down-wind sail through Alligator River to the Alligator River Marina. We spent the evening cooking chili and eating ice cream. The girls even started an impromptu dance party on the docks.
By tomorrow evening we hope to reach Manteo and with a south wind we should be able to sail most of the day, a stark contrast to the long motor through the canal today. Check out a live track of our voyage, courtesy of Lundy Charters,
