Ocracoke

Woke up to fog this morning in Manteo. We wanted to get an early start as we decided to make Ocracoke this evening, 66 miles, due to wind forecast tomorrow, along with a small craft warning. We’ll spend two nights here, anchored in Silver Lake. More like a very small Bay that the town of Ocracoke surrounds. We came out of the Roanoke Sound, continuing along the Old House Channel, and into the Pamlico Sound. We were out of the fog not far after leaving Manteo. The Pamlico Sound is a large and shallow body of water. There was little wind today, so it was pretty calm. Until the last 8 miles, which got a little choppy. As we left the Old House Channel, we passed the Dredge, Miss Katie. Entering the Pamlico Sound, there was an area with quite a number of duck blinds. Bill, Mike and I were all about a mile or two apart. Just droning along on such a calm day and open expanse of water, I decided to watch Sister Act 1 and 2 on my ipad to pass the time away. We entered the Big Foot Slough Channel to come into Silver Lake and Ocracoke.Okumaya devam et
