This is a much different trip going south - cold!! We spent a rainy night tied up in Coinjock and then a lovely night on the hook in the Alligator River - I kept looking for alligators until P showed me the chart and I realized that the river LOOKS like an alligator, not full of them (false advertising!). We were able to sail for a few fleeting miles, but for the most part we are motoring through the ditch. I'll be glad when we get to Beaufort and can sail on the outside.
Tonight, we are in the lovely little - slightly depressed- town of Bellhaven. We walked into town to Wine & Words cafe and bought some used books and had a delicious tapas lunch. Interestingly, we met a couple related to the family that bought Middle Ground Lighthouse next to the M&M Bridge Tunnel. They invited us to sail over and see the renovations when we get home. They don't realize that we will come...
