ALLIGATOR RIVER, NC

As deluxe as last night's accommodations were, tonight was a bit on the other extreme. The marina is immaculately clean and well maintained. It is on a shared property with a Shell Station. We were the only boat there....which is VERY UNUSUAL. Something we found humorous is that there were acres of mowed lawn, but signs everywhere(probably 25) that said NO DOGS ALLOWED AREA! We picked this place, as it is just before the dreaded Albemarle Sound. We have to cross it in the morning and it can be a force to be reckoned with. We are planning an early start and hope the winds are down. We had another long day today....10 hours. Cruising conditions were great. Yesterday, we outran storms all day. Today the sky was clear and the winds and waves were in our favor.
