OK - now it's "today".  It's noon and we are almost half way to our destination anchorage.  We got up this morning to bright sunshine, winds NW at about 10, and temps around 30. We got going at 8am sharp for a 52 nm day.  We motored out of the Pantego River and into the (large) Pungo River.  It was about 8 miles up to the head where we left the river into the south end of the Alligator-Pungo cut.  This (ICW) cut is almost 20 miles long with two 5 degree turns near the center.  So it's two very straight 10 mile stretches till you reach the bottom of the Alligator River.  As I type, Ollie has the "watch" (wheel) and Captain Phil is doing some patch work on the dinghy.  It is nice and sunny.  The temp inside the cockpit is around 65 or 70 and below it's about 55 or 60 - a HUGE improvement over the last 3 days.  I know, though, that the forecast for later in the week (up north in the Bay) is for colder temps again.   

Rev. 1 - it's 7pm and we just dropped anchor in the North River on the north side of the Albemarle Sound.  We ended up making good progress all day and reached our previous destination earlier than expected.  So we decided to keep going.  One factor was that the Albamarle Sound was like glass - making the passage across a piece of cake.  It is notorious for being a real pain.  I've read reports that it is the most difficult stretch of water between Florida and Maine so we are glad to have it behind us.  So, the plan now is to make Great Bridge tomorrow and South Norfolk Monday.
