We're in Belhaven, NC until Monday

We left Alligator River Marina at 7 a.m. The mosquitoes were huge and thick this morning! I saw five at one time on my coffee mug alone! It was a beautiful, sunny day on the water. No long underwear or jackets today. It was T-shirt weather.

At 10:20 a.m., we entered the Pungo River Canal. It was beautiful with natural vegetation and lots of trees on both sides of the canal. and lots of stumps. It was like the lazy river...a smooth, easy day.

A Sun Odyssey 49 with a 65 ft. mast tried to go under a 64 ft. bridge and got stuck. He did a lot of damage to his boat and Boat U.S. asked us to wait until they got him on the other side of the bridge for us to go by.

We arrived at Dowry Creek Marina about 3 p.m. or so. Jazzy was a sailor girl for Halloween and Sailor was a Jack-O-Lantern.

I cooked an early dinner and we went to a party at the marina lounge and met other boaters. It was BYOB and everyone brought some type of snack. It was a great time.

The weather is iffy tomorrow so we're going to hang here another day. Plus, we can't cross the Cape Hatteras line until after Nov. 2 because of insurance...the official end of hurricane season is tomorrow.

Patti and I plan to catch up on uploading photos and more computer stuff.

Happy Halloween!
