N C #7

Continuing NOrth on the ICW. Quite a difference from the other day when waves were crashing over the bow and things were falling off the roof. Today, was flat calm on the Pamlico River.

We started up the Pungo River / Alligator River Canal. A long stretch of relatively narrow canal.

Didn't see any alligators or pungos. Didn't see any people either.
We don't see many boats on the ICW--just an occasional shrimper.

We're going to turn back South tomorrow. That little hurricane is on it's way. They are forecasting 20 to 25 mph winds on Thursday, and we would prefer not to cross the open areas of water in those winds.
I have my computer hooked up to an inverter onboard, and we can watch movies at night. (Or run the refrigeration--the batteries will not support everything-but the block ice is holding up, so it's movies again tonight.)
