Today was a great day to sail, we went a little over 50 miles down the pungo river, through the Pamlico River, then onto the Neuse River. We were able to sail or motor sail almost the whole day. Once we got to Oriental and anchored we quickly realized we needed more protection from the wind so we traveled 6 more miles down the ICW to Smith Creek. We are now only 19 miles from Beaufort,, NC where we will stay a few day and explore, maybe even go to the beach. Then we will start the stretch of the ICW called the Ditch, where we will have a lot more shallow areas and larger tidal changes to deal with.
