Joe
We are off at 6:30AM from Manteo on Roanoke Island and the Outer Bank.
We have changed our route to go back through Ablemarle Sound and Alligator River thanks to local knowledge and the wind direction and speed. Forecast for Pamlico Sound today is winds up to 26 MPH with gusts over 36 MPH by mid-afternoon. And the wind will be directly on our nose. The route is 18 miles further but based on what I was told, it is the best route today.
We loved sailing in the Chesapeake and will return next summer to explore the upper Chesapeake but our favorite two places are Manteo and Cape Lookout Bight, both on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
This would be a great place to spend a summer or longer. The town is very quiet, but 10 minutes away you have the ocean and all you want to do. There is ocean, history and the beauty of the unspoiled outer banks.
We really enjoyed having our good friends Bill, Cheryl, Huck, and new addition Roxy. They liked Manteo so much that after being in 38 ports in 3 years, they are staying a year.
One of the off the beaten path must see places, same as Cape Lookout Bight. We will anchor after 60 or so miles around Belleville. More to come.
