Fri,Oct 23rd- Sunny and warm, bike to town for a few supplies(groceries and kerosene). Met a local fisherman on the dock who gave us 2 nice seatrout, which after filleting fed us for 2 nights of excellent dinners. Motor thru the canal to the NC visitor center docks. We were the 13th boat to arrive and we were rafted 4 deep.(the dock has room for 4 boats) Met many of the boaters at happy hour ashore. (It may sound like all we do is party each night but this is the only time we get to interact with with other people. We have met many interesting boaters thru these gatherings and get to share a lot of information this way.)
Sat- sunny and warm hi near 80. Borrowed real bikes from the visitors center(our folding bikes have 20" wheels) and rode to the next town on a paved bike trail. Many boats headed out early but another batch came in so we had a dozen boats for the evening gab fest.
Sun-Motor to Elizabety City where the town supplies free docks and a wine and cheese party each night. There were at least 20 boats docked ,many that we have been traveling with for at least part of the trip.
Monday- strong n-e winds kept everyone holed up here. The 2 boats that ventured out into Ablemarle sound were back within a couple of hours because of the rough seas. We biked for propane and a few supplies, Chris got caught in the rain and came back cold and wet just in time to catch the end of the Rose Buddies coctail party.
