October 29th- Dismal Swamp VA to Elizabeth City NC

We traveled south on the Dismal Swamp to Forbes Bay which was just past Elizabeth City. We didn’t go to shore.

Nice color on The Dismal Swamp canal

October 30th- Elizabeth City to Alligator River NC

Good weather. We had an easy crossing of the Albemarle Sound. We anchored Evergreen for the night near the Alligator/ Pungo canal.

October 31st- Alligator River to Belhaven NC

The weather has been really good on this trip so far. We anchored in Belhaven and went out for lunch. Lynne and I split a Ruben sandwich from the bakery. Before leaving Belhaven (the next day) we also filled up Evergreen with diesel and water. We were in the same location last year on Halloween.

November 1st- Belhaven to Cedar Creek NC

We had a late start as the fuel dock didn’t open until 9 am. We still had a productive day. The weather was right for negotiating the Neuse River. We’ve had some rough rides on the Neuse.

November 2nd- Cedar Creek to Mile Hammock Bay/ Camp Lejune NC

Today we had Evergreen moving at first light. It was a long day but we had wind and current pushing us along. Mile Hammock is full of boats tonight. Last count was 14 at anchor. So far the Bay is quiet. We haven’t seen any Marines training this evening.
