DEP. BELHAVEN, NC 07:26 ARR. ALLIGATOR R. MARINA (mm84.2) 12:26
WX FORECAST: N WIND 14-18K, CHANCE OF SHOWERS, PM T-STORMS
D. 50.2sm / 4933
We seem to be in a weather pattern where the forecast is the same every day. A chance of rain and t-storms. Today is another windy day, but not as bad as yesterday, and most of our trip will be in more protected waters. Belhaven is on the Pungo River which we follow for 10 miles before we enter the Alligator River Pungo Canal which is narrow and flat calm for the next 21 miles. The Canal connects to the Alligator R. which is much wider, but we only encounter 2’-3’ waves here and only have to cruise for another 20 miles. The marina is a Shell gas station a highway in the front, and a river in the back in Columbia NC, but miles from the town. It has a small convenience/marine store and a small restaurant. It sells fuel and has about 30 slips. We fueled up here as the price is good and made it into our slip without a problem in spite of the still 18K winds.
