Left around 7 a.m. Roy thought we'd have a problem getting away from the dock, but the wind wasn't blowing very hard, so we got away easy as pie.
Around 2 p.m., just as we were reaching the far side of the Pamlico River, a sudden thunderstorm hit us, so we ducked out of the channel and dropped anchor. The storm didn't last long. In a couple of hours we were on our way again.
Anchored for the night in the Pungo River. Lots of flying insects.
This Blog is our mother's logs from her sails aboard Jofian. Our mother, Clare Holt, wrote a log every day and after her first sail to Mexico, she bought a laptop to write and save her logs. She sailed when the World Wide Web was first created, there was not as much on the Internet back then, no Wi-Fi, Internet access was very limited. I know if she were sailing today that she would be putting her logs in a Blog, so I am doing it for her. Mom’s logs to Alaska are on saillogsalaska.blogspot.com.
