[STATUS]Tuckahoe Point. Squally morning and cloudy day, but - we sailed all day! What an awesome treat on the ICW! Wing and wing across Albemarle Sound, broad reach down the Alligator River. As much as we love our trusty Westerbeke, it was fantastic to get a break from the constant hum of the engine. Plus we had lots of wind so we flew at 7-8+ knots much of the way. Now anchored in barely enough depth in pretty, undeveloped spot. Only downside are hundreds of buzzing midgies which descend in swarms at dusk, and leave behind tiny green (poop?) spots all over the fiberglass in the morning. (This happened last night too, so tonight we were ready with screens.) At least they don't bite!
