Manteo

It was a quiet and calm night in Broad Creek. 32 miles today as we continued on the North River, crossed the Albermarle Sound into the Roanoke Sound, turning into Shallowbag Bay and then into the town of Manteo. Mostly open water today, but fairly calm on most of it. Had one Tug and empty Barge turn up the North River as we entered into Albermarle Sound. By the time I arrived in Maneo, I was running about a half hour ahead of Mike, who was running about an hour ahead of Bill. (All of us running at slightly different speeds.) Bill and Mike decided to anchor out here, while I’m on a free dock. (I prefer docks when available. They prefer to anchor out, especially since they have their Kaboats.) They explored with their Kaboats, while I found the nearest Ice Cream Shop, Big Bucks Homemade Ice Cream. (LOL) They eventually came to shore, and we walked around town some more, and then got supper at Poor Richards Sandwich Shop. Tonight we are being treated to a free concert. Sort of. KC and the Sunshine Band, opened by Chairmen of the Board, are playing at the Roanoke Island Festival Park just across the small bay from where I’m docked, and an equal distance from where Bill and Mike are anchored. So it’s not going to be quite as quiet tonight as the last two nights. At least until later… But at least it’s a decent band. Lol.Leia mais
