spring sail 2025 track

 

update

 It has been a couple of weeks of good sailing.  Also a couple weeks of weak cell signals so have not been posting here.  (Somehow Instagram works better with poor connectivity so I have been posting there.)

Photo is from Snode Creek off of the Goose Creek Canal.  Since last post I have visited Belhaven, Bath and now Washington, plus too many creeks and rivers to remember off the top of my head.  

Staying in Washington today and possibly tomorrow due to weather.  Shower, laundry and other chores on tap for today.  

south to Beaufort

A wonderful sail across the Neuse River, down the Adams Creek Canal to the Newport River and Gallants Channel (tacking through the sandbars with oyster men working the exposed oyster reefs on both sides) to Taylor Creek and the Beaufort waterfront.   The reward: a couple cold beers at the Dock House.  

a day off in Oriental

A walk at dawn, breakfast at The Bean, a little maintenance, and catching up on the log.  Fried flounder for lunch.  And an afternoon of enjoying a great little town.  Back on the water tomorrow. 

 

rainy day blues

Excellent sail on the Neuse River yesterday, coming into Broad Creek around noon.  Now waiting out some weather.  Hope to make Oriental tomorrow.
