Spent Monday evening anchored behind Goat Island about 7 miles north of Elizabeth City, NC. The outer bands of Wilma provided 25-30 kt winds and heavy rain all night. This is a secluded cove off the Pasquotank River leading to Elizabeth City and still has the look and feel of the swamp. We have over 150 ft of chain out in this wind.
Tuesday morning broke to somewhat clearer weather but the winds are still blowing hard from the west. Decided to spend the day anchored here and head down to E City tomorrow in better weather. The crossing of Albemarle Sound is always ‘interesting’ if the winds are up. It is a relatively shallow body of water laying east-west so any wind kicks up the waves. It doesn’t look like we can cross it until Thursday.

Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

John & Pam,
We're following you so keep the pics coming. "Point No Point" was also a strive I lived on in Annapolis at Saltworks on the Sever. Try explaining that to folks who ask what's your street! Well is it Point or not!!!!
