After leaving E City we crossed the Albemarle Sound which can sometimes be an adventure. The wind was 10-15 from the north which was the perfect setting for our southerly heading. Very smooth crossing and then we entered the Alligator River (no, there aren't!). The Alligator River swing bridge (photo) was constantly opening for all the southbound boats. This river is pretty wide with nothing but scub pines along the shore.
Anchored in the river off Deep Point with 13 other boats (the Cruising Guide says "holds 3-4 boats"). The serene setting was somewhat compromised by the Air Force F-15's practicing dive bombing on the river (damn pilots!)
