/ Upper Dowry Creek Anchorage
Yesterday was a non eventful, overcast day with cool temperatures and wet from the evening rains. We used it as a work day; Ron scrubbed the decks, Jean used the marina courtesy car to make a run to the grocery and West Marine, then did laundry.
We awakened this morning to a heavy fog which delayed our planned early start.
We had to wait for the train to cross the railroad bridge before it could open for us. Just an engine and one car, but it required a 30 minute wait for us
We headed due east this morning on the Pamlico River to get back on the ICW to continue our journey. The Pamlico is 3 miles wide and the distance across to the Outer Banks is almost 30 miles , which means you only see horizon. The early explorers must have been the adrenaline junkies of their day. Those who first charted these waters, without GPS or aerial views, certainly have our respect.
