Total: 309 miles 53.5 hours
Bailey once again woke us around 1 needing
to head on land. It was a while before
Pete was able to get back to sleep.
We woke before the alarm went off at 6:15
this morning. The temperatures were in
the mid 50’s and the winds were calm. We
were away from the dock by 6:40 and at passing through the Alligator River
Bridge before 7 am. Winds began to build
up though the mid-teens from the west. Throughout the A & P Canal, the
winds were on our nose, but the current continued to help us keep traveling at
7 mph. Once on the Pongo River, the wind continued, but the waves did not
build.
I spoke with Debbie from SIMPLICITY. They are still in Hampton, but will continue
on Tuesday once the weather clears. That means it will be a while before they catch
up with us.
We were able to tie up to Belhaven Town
Dock. Shortly after, MV DAYBREAK docked
behind us. Kenny verified our Newark, DE
home port. He is from Covered Bridge
also in Newark. We had met 2 years ago
in Mile Hammock Cove. After discussing
our travel plans, it looks like we might be able to meet up in the Keys later
this winter.
With the interrupted sleep and fresh air
poisoning, and lack of good Wi-Fi. we called it an early night. Hopefully, we will have good Wi-Fi in the
near future, so I can post more.
