4 May, 2016 – Albermarle Sound
This was our view through the dodger (windshield / windscreen) from the cockpit as we crossed the Albermarle Sound. Definitely not the ideal situation.
Visibility was only about a mile most of the time. The only good news was that there were very few crab pots we had to navigate around.
After crossing the 10 mile expanse of water we made our way back onto into the river and the ICW. At this point there are two routes for the ICW, the Dismal Swamp which we did on the southbound trip and the “Virginia cut” which has more commercial traffic. We opted for the Virginia Cut so we would be experiencing new places for the next couple of days that we haven’t seen before. We tied up at Coinjock Marina for our last night in North Carolina on this trip.
Ever since we started planning for the trip on the ICW Bob had been hearing about Coinjock Marina’s prime rib dinner (which you have to reserve in advance), so we knew what he would be enjoying for dinner. We reserved his prime rib upon our arrival, and ultimately ended our day enjoying a lovely dining experience.
