What I Do got a good fresh water rinse today. I think it rained harder than I have ever seen it rain. Over a 6 hour period, it rained 4 or 5 times and 3 of those were downpours. I sailed for about 6 hours and motored for 6. I was warm (most of the time) and got through it. Like a fool, I still had not unfolded my bimini so the only thing between the weather and me was my foul weather gear - which did an admirable job.
It was a long day - To Dowery Creek Marina for ice and fuel, around Durants Pt, 8 miles down the remainder of the Pungo to and across the Pamlico River, into Goose Creek, through another 5 mile land cut, into and across Bay River and, finally into Bonner Bay.
Just after I anchored, the sun came out and just before it did, I got to see a beautiful rainbow in the East. I believe this was the most isolated (from civilization) spot on my trip and with the rainbow, it was like I was in heaven - definitely a time and place to remember. Knowing I'd be in Oriental tomorrow made me feel like I was nearing my destination - and I was.
Bonner Bay - this is about as remote as it gets. Notice the reef in the main? It has been there for a week!
