Actually left our funky Aligator River Marina at 7 am and slogged up to Elizabeth City by lunch time. It was a rough ride across the Albemarle Sound, though the new chart plotter tracking feature with the auto pilot were a great help. We are tucked away in an even funkier marina, Lambs Marina, a ways outside of Elizabeth City. We had time to give Finally a good exterior cleaning and for Gordon to fix the generator again - hopefully for long enough to make it through the Dismal Swamp where we will have no marina power - and for showers and laundry. The marina manager, Bill originally from Newfoundland, a real character, drove us to the Food Lion and the ABC store for provisions.
Enjoyed an excellent dinner at a real NC restaurant (marinated rib eye steaks, NC barbecue platter, chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes, black-eyed peas, slaw, and cucumber salad.) Made a successful foray to the Dollar General next door for a new bucket and miscellaneous little stuff.
Finished off the evening with the fourth episode of Collateral on Netflix.
