We were off the dock just after 7 am this morning, but we weren't up quite early enough to make the 85 miles to Bellhaven, so instead of stopping at Alligator River Marina, only 35 miles away, we decided to venture outside the ICW to Manteo, NC on Roanoke Island. We were planning on aiming for Hatteras tomorrow, but after talking to the dock-master at Manteo Waterfront Marina, it seems more convenient to head to Engelhard tomorrow (45 miles) and then meet back up with the ICW at the Neuse River the following day. It was nice to leave behind the "follow the leader," narrow ICW today, even though we still had to motor.
The dock-master also gave us some (much needed) advice about our trip across the jet stream to the Abacos, including the best place to check in. We can't wait to get there, but we are trying to enjoy the journey as well.
We docked today before 2 pm and had a nice (but short) walk around Manteo - it's not a big town, but it's cute.
i love the map. so helpful!
