Canals & Crab Pots

Bill Blevins

After a breezy evening, this morning the harbor was as smooth as glass in Belhaven, NC. We decided to tow the new dinghy (for the first time) but after 1000 yards we learned that was a big mistake. @april and I pulled into another marked anchorage and secured the dinghy on the foredeck! The canal trip from the Pungo River to the Alligator River was peaceful and uneventful. As we exited the canal and turned north we set the Ginny and Jib and sailed a deep reach to an anchorage close to the bridge before entering Albemarle Sound. No crab pots were snagged but we were both on watch for the final ten miles before we set the hook! Eagles, vultures, turtles, deer and an Air Tractor provided entertainment on our trip.
