Broad Creek

33.5 miles today. First half under cloudy skies, most of last half in rain. Last night was very calm and peaceful in Black Water Creek. I think tonight here in Broad Creek will be just as nice, if not better. Today’s route was pretty much on the North River. We crossed back into North Carolina and passed Bell Island and then went through Coinjock, NC. Coinjock is a busy stop during the Great Loop boating season as many boats will overnight there, after or before crossing the Albemarle Sound. There are only a couple marinas, but one has a very long dock almost the length of town. Prior to passing through Coinjock, the “Cape Point” ferry between Currituck and Knotts Island passed in front of me. Early this afternoon we turned off the ICW into open water and into Broad Creek. Most boats on the ICW where we have been are north bound. At least the ones doing the Great Loop. Heading north for the cooler temperatures, and to cruise the northern parts of the Great Loop during our summer season.Читать далее
