Heading from Coinjock across the Albemarle Sound and then down the Alligator River took us out of cell phone and Internet range. How foreign that felt when we’d been able to talk or interact from the middle of the Chesapeake Bay and from several miles offshore. We left the frigid mornings behind and discovered windless days, the sound and rivers a mirror, reflecting a perfect sky. Look at what we experienced at anchor in the Alligator River:
After a night in Belhaven, NC, we headed to Little Washington. Once in the channel, we joined the fleet. I’ve never seen so many boats, all with the same idea: Go South. We had 17 boats surrounding us–until we turned to starboard and they continued on to Oriental.
Hi Normandie! I have so enjoyed your posts with this cruise. We are also watching all the boats headed for warmer weather pass us on the ICW each day. and definitely feeling the pull to GO. Can”t wait to get going again!! Love your photos and so glad your mom is enjoying the ride.
How is your new boat coming along? We wish we could keep on heading south, but home is pulling us back for a while. Mama loves being out, but she’s ready to be in her own house, playing with her cats.
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the photos. I’ve finally learned to keep the camera ready!
The usual fabulous photographs Normandie. I hope the rest of your run goes as well.

One can’t help but make beautiful pictures with scenery like that! But I thank you, David.
We’re enjoying Little Washington, NC, right now, where the dockmaster became a fan of Becalmed and so has arranged all sorts of lovely happenings for our stay here, including a visit and signing at the nearby senior center’s book club and a chat with local high school students, as well as the on-board book party next week. What a gracious lady is Teresa Hamilton!
More pictures of the town coming soon.
