The ICW(IntraCoastalWaterway) has been absolutely fascinating, and we really haven't even entered the main canals. Since leaving the fabulous hospitality of Oriental we have managed to sail part of the way and motored the rest. "Bounty" has made friends wherever we have stopped, though we have confused people with having the home port of Opua NZ and flying the American flag and Nth Carolina registration. The waterway is very narrow and shallow in places and we have daily blessed John for the GPS with sonar. It is an amazing piece of technology for us sailors from the stone age. We are converts, especially on Friday when the rain was beating down, the visibility non existant and the channel we had to follow was 9ft wide.
Bath was the first town settled in Nth Carolina and has some amazing buildings, and Washington has wonderful main street and great dock. We have just been listening to a free blue grass concert that happens every Saturday morning in the local art gallery.
While we were sailing up Pamlico River a lady on a jet ski came out and zoomed around the boat taking pictures on her GoPro and she kindly sent us some of the images. Thank you Jennifer of North Creek Productions. We have lots of photos on our camera but somewhere on the boat is the cable that connects it to the computer - mmm. This boat has a lot of nooks and crannies, we will keep working on it and hopefully will have more photos.
