Talking About Adventure In Small Boats
SOS and DancesWithSandyBottom arrived earlier this afternoon. They rented a slip, took showers and washed clothes. Here are their logbook remarks:
Still debating if the inside route was faster. Easy sailing up the canal and a sleigh ride up to CP2. Waiting for the wind to ease. Planning to stay inside. Jarhead is awesome!
Right now they are enjoying some really good food at the diner. They are still debating whether to go inside or outside and how long to stay here.
Jarhead rowed under the bridge and arrived at CP2 a couple hours ago. He had a burger in the diner and wrote the following:
Nice surprise being able to sail the Alligator-Pungo Canal, but the Alligator River afterwards was nasty!
Shortly after he finished his burger SOS and DancesWithSandyBottom rowed out of their slip and headed for the bridge. Within minutes Jarhead was in pursuit.
COJones and Puma came in early in the morning just after 1 AM. They were raving about what a good time they had.
COJones says, Wild ride downwind up the Pamlico Sound. Nasty beat into the Alligator, Sore + Satisfied.
Puma says, One of the special days on the water - just wonderful.
They did take advantage of the showers, laundry, and lounge room to get some rest and prepare for the next leg to CP3.
About 3:33 AM VeteranVoyage360 arrived in his Hobie TI. He too was extremely pleased with the fun he had.
Hobie surfing across the Sound and all the way - every turn to the Pungo. Couldn't ever get a line that straight again. . . . and then the Pungo.
He also took advantage of the CP2 amenities at the Alligator River Marina. He left in high spirits.
At roughly 10:00 AM HeavilyLaden and FatDaddy arrived in their kayaks. The both had a good trip but were very tired and literally fell asleep on the dock and the grass next to the dock.
HeavilyLaden says, Wild trip up the Pungo! Lots of wind & surfing. Beautiful but endless canal run. Stars were spectacular last night& this morning.
FatDaddy says, Crazy wind and waves on the Pungo, but at least they were going the same direction. I'm not sure anything has made me happier than the flat water.
After a few hours taking care of their gear and eating at the diner, they took off heading for CP3.
Doooobrd came in about 11:28 AM and felt good and was happy with the course.
Ah, Core Sound is fading into a distant memory. Nice day today. Hamburger, then heading out.
He spent the shortest time at the dock and was back at it very quickly.
Who will get here first? Will it be LRock or
KnotSynced?
