Just a short update today.
We were planning on going from Beaufort to Belhaven North Carolina, about 70 miles. But we were all a little ragged out after the start of the trip, and the long 90 mile ride into Beaufort.
So we stopped about 2/3 of the way to Belhaven, at a really nice anchorage just off of the ICW (Intra Coastal Waterway). The Red Triangle shows the location of our boat.
It was a very uneventful ride. We did see several very nice Sportfish Yachts docked along the way. Then we saw, what we thought was the newest, most beautiful Shrimping Boat that we had ever seen.
As the Shrimp Boat passed by, we soon realized that it was just another Rusty Forest Gump Shrimp Boat.
We arrived about 2:30 pm to the anchorage, early for “end-of-the-day” activities compared to the last few days.
“End-of-the-day” activities = Tequila Time
After gettin anchored, it was swimming time 😃
The anchorage is again very peaceful, with an occasional boat passing by on the ICW. The photos really don’t show how pretty the location is.
After dinner, just before dark, we were treated to a tug pushing a barge southbound on the ICW.
Well, that’s about it for today !!!
The nice thing about anchoring out, is that first thing tomorrow morning, I can go for another swim before we take off for Belhaven.
Wait !!! – bonus photos from that I forgot to include in yesterday’s post. This area is part of the “Low Country” land in North Carolina. The marsh area looks like the surface of Mars.
