Harvest Moon spent about seven weeks parked at Atlantic Yacht Basin in Chesapeake VA while we visited family in Colorado and Virginia. Since that location put us several miles into the ICW, we decided to make our way south at least part of the way through the ICW.
We’re currently in Oriental, NC, headed a few miles further to Beaufort today, then we’ll likely go outside for a day down to the Carolina State Park to spend a few days enjoying some hiking there.
Alligator Pungo Canal
Our first day we traveled about 50 miles to a pleasant anchorage south of Buck Island. Then day two we travelled a little over 70 miles to the south end of the Pungo/Alligator Canal. Both days were calm and gorgeous. Day three was beautiful as well, and we got to sail a bit in the Pamlico Sound before arriving in Oriental where we could finally get off the boat for a little walking.
