Great Bridge to Buck Island
02 November 2015 | Buck Island, NC
62F. Heavy Rain, Winds ENE 8-12 knots. DT -45 NM
When the Great Bridge opened this morning at 8:00, we untied our lines and continued our way south via the ICW. Some refer to it as "The "Ditch". Today we started at mile 12.0 and motored and watched the chart and bouys closely. It rained all day. I (Deb) decided to take advantage of the fresh rain water and washed the boat. It was really beginning to get dirty. At 3:00 we anchored at mile 58 in the North River. We are located SE of Buck Island which gives us protection from the ENE winds. Presently, we are down below in our warm cabin, I am having a glass of wine and Ron a cup of coffee. Ron is doing finances and I am looking at chicken recipes to cook for dinner tonight. We will continue south in the morning.
