Thursday was our best day running so far. After a pleasant overnight in Dowry Creek, with some wine drunk with other boaters in the marina, we decided to head out for Beaufort NC, using the ICW,at 9.20am even though the weather did not look promising. It was one of those days when the conditions were much better than forecast. We were able to make 28kts at one point. However, there were the usual challenges with no wake zones and, at one point, a large barge which we had to overtake in a narrow channel. This is Graeme's report.
We parked next to a huge Viking boat about 65 ft and and even bigger 110ft boat!the town of Beaufort is lovely lots of old houses line the dock most built in the 1700's and we had a wonderful dinner out at the best restaurant in town. Opposite our marina is an island with wild horses probably of Spanish descent, the story is that they swam ashore from ship wrecks of the coast of North Carolina.
Over and out , Erica.
