Making Tracks South

I can't believe it has been 8 days since our last entry! Traveling south with Mo & George and we are at mile 283 on the ICW in Wrightsville Beach, NC today. We have made stops in Portsmouth, VA anchoring at Hospital Point, then on through the Dismal Swamp in one day to tie up in Elizabeth City at a wall just North of the bridge for a night, then had a good sail across the Albemarle and down the Alligator River to anchor in Tuckahoe Point, a great sail down the Pungo River, across the Pamlico to anchor in Eastham Creek, on to River Dunes for a marina break (very great facilities), then a night in Spooners Creek, and one in Mile Hammock, before reaching Wrightsville at 1400 today. Fortunately, we missed the brunt of the cold front - no rain; just wind and COLD TEMPS! It is gusting into the 30s today. We are thinking of heading offshore from Cape Fear, but are hesitating because it is so cold. We'll make a decision tonight or tomorrow morning - right now we are happy to be anchored!
