The Spring trip? Just thinking about it. Maybe a counter-clockwise trip from Hobucken to Cape Lookout to Ocracoke or Wysocking Bay or Belhaven.
I'll be the first to admit I spend way too much time planning. But planning, in my case, is daydreaming with a few facts thrown in. Can you daydream too much?

I renamed Wysocking Bay to Bloodsucking Bay on my chart after my one and only night anchored there. I don't think the inhabitants of that place see meat not covered with thick fur. We got quite the enthusiastic reception.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the funny thing about marshes. I have never figured out how to forecast mosquito activity. I've overnighted there at least three, maybe four times with no problem at all. But I suspect it depends on temperature, humidity, etc. Go figure.

Maybe I'll cross headings with you when you come down here for your Spring Carolina Loop.
ReplyDeleteI retraced your 2011 Walkabout on Labor Day weekend. Except the mosquitoes (so big, you could read the numbers on their wings), it is worth doing again.
You have a few regulars here in the Carolina coastal waters that keep current with your blog.
It is interesting that both you and JimB would mention mosquitoes. I have never been able to predict when/where they will be a problem. I've had two rough nights with them in the sounds, that is not bad considering all of the trips I have made down there. Part of the cost of sailing down there.
