A beautiful sunrise for another beautiful day, sunny, clear and warm.

Today we traveled the Alligator River - Pungo River Canal.  This canal is 22 miles long and fairly straight.  Notice the chart below.  The two straight lines going from left to right is the canal; the red shape on the left is us.
 Above is what it looked like on the computer - to the right is what it looked like on the water.  Not much excitement here!







We arrived at our destination early afternoon.  The marina office is in a Shell gas station which also houses a small mini-mart, gift shop and restaurant.  Although the menu offered a variety of items for dinner, we opted to eat on board tonight.  We spent an enjoyable hour or two with Susan and Carolyn on Sojourner, a 36' Selene from Kentucky.

  1. Not trying to be rude or pry into your personal affairs but there is something I have always wondered about living on a boat full time or in an RV for that matter, and that is how do you pay bills and taxes and receive mail? I heard someone say you could pay bills online is that how you pay for fuel? You just hand them the card and at the end of the month pay it online?
