Cruise Summary

This blog is my journal for an 11 day cruise from Albemarle Plantation, Hertford, NC down the inland waterway to Beaufort, NC. and calling on various ports of call along the way.

My First Mate for the trip was my neighbor, Buck Walker. We took the trip in mid-Oct but I just got around to integrating the photos and posting the blog.

We tried 3 new anchorages and 2 new marinas this trip and I'd use them all again. I took screen shots of my chartplotter for the route into each anchorage so you can see what we did. You can also get the GPS coordinates from the shots so that you could easily find the anchorages for yourself.

Marc asked me to rate the restaurants so here they are on a 5 point scale. We ate at 3 and the rest of the time cooked on-board.
  • Back Bay Cafe, Belhaven - 2.5 (lunch better than dinner)
  • Aqua, Beaufort - 5.0
  • Spouter's Inn, Beaufort - 4.0

If you'd like to see satellite images of our ports of call, I've programmed them onto a Google Map titled: Fall Southern Cruise Oct 07.

Google Maps allows you to zoom the map and to integrate satellite photos. The link is below. Try playing with the system. It is really amazing. Send me a note if you have problems and I’ll talk you through it….
