Pamlico County

After a good night’s sleep, with some rain over night, today (Thursday, 5/16) we did 40 miles. Our path, all part of the ICW (Intercoastal Waterway) from Oriental, NC., was on the Neuse River, Bay River, Goose Creek, across the Pamlico River to the Pungo River, and swung into Slade Creek, near Belhaven, NC. Bill and I then anchored in Spellman Creek while Mike went up to Wood Creek. Most the day was on rough water, 1 ft chop, going directly into it the first half of the day, and then having the chop hit us on our port beam causing for the rolling action shown in the video. Other than a bit breezy, there was plenty of sunshine. After getting anchored, Bill took his dinghy up to Wood Creek to meet Mike, and then they explored some of the other side creeks off of Slade Creek. Some sights of interest (picture uploads), included some Pelicans, a pirate ship, the fishing fleet at RE May Seafoods, a crab boat out setting his traps, USCG Station Hobucken, some photos Bill took while he and Mike were exploring, and then sunset here in Spellman Creek.Læs mere
