Tuesday, October 12, 2010 – Neuse River near Maw Point Shoal (ICW mile 170)

 
 
 
 
 We spent the morning walking around town (which really didn’t take long) and then stopped in at SmacNally’s on the waterfront for a bit of lunch. It was a lovely day with temperatures in the upper 80’s and a nice southwesterly breeze. Seemed like a good afternoon for a sail, so we pulled up anchor at 1:30 pm and left Ocracoke and the Outer Banks of North Carolina to reenter the Intracoastal Waterway.

At 7 pm, we dropped anchor near Maw Point Shoal in the Neuse River and settled in for a nice evening. Remember the fish fly hatch we had Saturday night? Right after sunset we were driven inside and under the covers by hoards of mosquitoes! They were relentless and managed to find their way into the living quarters. Lights out because of the bugs at 8 pm again!!
