Shake down to Cape Lookout
28 May 2013 | underway

Good things come to those who wait. Well, my waiting is over. Sea Otter is fit and ready to be tested by the sea once more. So a shake down cruise is in order. My destination will be Cape Lookout Bight which is located just East of The inlet at Beaufort, NC. I've allowed myself a month for the trip there and back, which should be ample time to enjoy the many rivers and creeks along the way. My first stop is on the front porch, so to speak, anchoring in Forbes Bay on the Pasquitank River. Even though I'm in sight of Elizabeth City, I've passed under the Twin bascule bridges and am poised for an early morning run across Albemarle Sound.
