We’re in Oriental! - Day 11 Southbound!

Bill Blevins

I tried hard to get to New Bern, North Carolina today, but 65 miles is a long way to motor singlehanded in one day. April‘s flight lands tonight at midnight. I’ll meet her tomorrow morning and we will continue heading south. Today had some good sailing and some regular old motoring. There were a ton of boats coming out of the Great Dismal Swamp canal. When we were there, we only saw two or three boats moving along with us but this morning, there must’ve been about 12 boats coming from behind so they were back there somewhere. By the way, that alternate route is an amazing trip if you draw less than 6 feet. Just do it once.
