April 27, Anchoring beyond Belhaven

April 27

Left Oriental late morning while the tide was up because of the shallow channel at this marina.
Winds died down and it was smooth sailing until we hit Pamlico River. At 65 miles long and 25 miles wide at its maximum, Pamlico Sound is the largest lagoon on the East Coast. The sound tested our boat with seas up to 4 feet and it was a rough ride for several hours.  We found a quiet anchorage at Scranton Creek off the Pungo River and watch a beautiful sunset after a hair raising day of traveling.
