It was a very hot and humid start to the day. The water was as smooth as glass. Thankfully, the cloudy sky helped to keep it from being completely unbearable! We came away from our anchorage about 8:30 am and headed across the sound to check out Oriental. It was a cute little town from what we could tell from the water – a place we will try to come back to on the way back. The free town dock was full – both the boats that passed us by last night had their places on the dock. We could have anchored in the crowded little harbor, but chose to travel on.
The forecast called for an 80% chance of rain and wind out of the south at 15-20 knots. We were looking forward to both the wind and the rain to help cool things down and give us a boost. Neither one happened. It stayed hot all day, not a puff of wind, but, at least, the sky remained cloudy.
At 6:20 pm we anchored in the Pungo River just before the southern entrance to the Alligator River / Pungo River Canal – a very quiet spot.
