Kidless Voyage

Well, we're excited. We've got almost 7 days without the kids starting the day after Christmas, and we are planning a trip in the boat that will take us to three places we've never been before with the boat. We'll leave out of Oriental on Wednesday morning (weather permitting) and head to Bath, NC, http://www.bathharbor.com/Approximately a 10 hour sail from Oriental. Bath has a beautiful calm and quiet anchorage and a very quiet town. The pirate Blackbeard (Edward Teach) lived in Bath (among other places around) and used the town as a refuge when he wasn't doing pirate things. It is rumored that Blackbeard and the Govenor of Bath (Charles Eden) were trading goods for Blackbeard to use the town of Bath as a refuge. http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/maritime/Blackbeard/default.htm
From there we'll head to a beautiful waterfront town called Washington. http://www.elocallink.tv/vp2/vp3_show.php?switchMovie=washdownt&cid=429 Then on to Belhaven, and from there to Ocracoke.
We're factoring in two days for bad weather, and each day will consist of 4 to 10 hours of sailing. It'll be the coldest trip we've been on, but we're still very excited about it. Here is a link to information regarding each of our stops. http://www.capelookoutyachts.com/charters/pamlico.html
