Saturday - June 22

Rained during the night and we were up and off at 6:05.    Cloudy all morning and a little cool, but waters were calm, so a very pleasant day on the water.    Sun came out this afternoon and we meandered thru Pamlico and Albemarle Sounds, at least 5 rivers and multiple canals and creeks for a total of 129 miles.    We stopped at 3:00 in our anchorage on the North River across from Corolla (Outer Banks), NC.   
 
The radar showed rain around us, but we lucked out - shortly after we got the anchor set, it did rain, so....glad to be in warm and dry!   Mark grilled out cheeseburgers and enjoying the peace and quiet - no one else around here.    But rain is coming big time, so....we'll batten down the hatches and see what comes!  
 
Talked to Ryan this afternoon - such a horrible tragedy in Dayton, Ohio with the crash at the air show this afternoon    When we were in Key West in March for the Blue Angels show, they had several other air demonstrations and one was a gal standing on the wing of the plane (called a wing walker).   It was unreal seeing her out there doing various stunts.....Ryan thinks it was that same gal who died today hanging upside down by her feet when the plane went down    She and the pilot died in the fiery crash.
 
Tomorrow...onto Norfolk (55 miles)
