Neuse RIver, Pamlico Sound, Bay River, Gale Creek, NC; April 17, 2011

Today we traveled down the Neuse River into the west end of Pamlico Sound before turning up Bay River. We are now at anchor on Gale Creek where it is very peaceful.


Last night we survived the Monster Storm of North Carolina!
Weather reports warned of the coming storm and we prepared to ride it out.
It was nerve racking while watching the news track the storm.
When it hit at 9pm, the wind sounded like a train and the gusts were strong enough to cause significant rolling.
We had minimal damage with the main thing being the mizzen sail tearing.
Lollygag did great and got a good washing, but we don't want to go through that again!
Beautiful day today with lots of sailboats out
