From: Mariners’ Wharf, ELizabeth City, NC MM 51.0
To: Tuckahoe Point Anchorage, NC MM 104.4
L/L: 36 40 31N 76 05 49W
Distance Traveled: 53.1
Hours Motoring: 8.0
Weather: Cold! Temp range 50 to 61 degrees; 15 knots of wind out of the north backing to the northwest; overcast (again) all day
Comment: The north and northwest wind at 15 knots (gusts to 20) gave us a pretty fast ride to the anchorage. On the day, we did 53.1 miles in eight hours. SUNSHINE arrived in the anchorage at 1500 hours. THe captain had thoughts of running the Aligator-Pungo Canal, but the ETA for the other side was 1900 hours. Rather than chance anchoring in the cold and dark, we decided to hold tight at the Tuckahoe Point anchorage and do the canal tomorrow.
Tonight, we’ll fire up the heater, have dinner and bake bread pudding to keep the cabin warn!
