The weather finally caught up with the forecast. The wind is now blowing straight out of the North, bringing cold air with it. Today was at least twenty degrees colder than yesterday. Clear and sunny, though.
Even though the wind is blowing 25 knots, it's blowing in the right direction, so we left Coinjock and headed into Albemarle Sound.
I really lucked out on the watches; Roy got the watch when we were going through a shallow, twisty river; I got the straight shot across the Sound, where the water is 15 or more feet deep. I had to steer, because the following seas were more than Charlie could handle, but I didn't mind that as long as there was plenty of water under the keel.
We had planned on anchoring near the entrance to the Alligator River, but it was still fairly early when we got there, so we kept going and anchored farther down the Alligator River, near Cedar Ridge Point. Roy fired up the new heater, and we enjoyed a cozy evening.
