We could not believe our eyes when we come out into the cockpit. The May files covered the inside of the canvas and a lot of the fiberglass, by the hundreds. Even when we shoed then many returned. We were successful is washing away many of them, some remained with us all day. DOUBLE UCK!!!

| Migration north up the Pongo River |
We continued up the Pongo River and onto the canal then onto the Alligator River. We were fortunate will all the rain that the east has been having, the levels were not affected. Andiamo had not problem going under the fixed 64 foot Walter B Jones Bridge.

Once on the predicted light winds increased to 15-20 and we were able to motor sail on the Albemarle Sound and up the Pasquotank River, dodging the crab pots. We passed through the final bridge and cropped anchor in an anchorage with two other boats and lots of sunken boats.

We had planned a long day. We covered about 65 miles in 12 hours. On Pete suggestion, we all left the center of the dodger up to allow the air to circulate in the cockpit so the bugs would not gather. Hope it works. We stayed in the cockpit to watch the sunset, this time with few bugs.

Tomorrow. . . The Dismal Swamp
