After a rather windy sail into the Neuse River we made it down to River Dunes, our home for a couple of weeks. The anchorage in Bear Creek was great and we thought we would have a quiet sail out of Bay Creek and down to the Marina. Wrong!! We now know about Maw Point and how dangerous that area is. Locals know that a NE fetch from Pamlico Sound ends up right at the turn from the Bay River into the Neuse River. Yep, right where we had to go around. Big, Steep waves (kind of like coming out of Simcoe Island cut but bigger) and GH had to go straight into it until we could head downwind. Then (under jib only) we shot right into Broad Creek doing 10-12kts.
Right now we have just finished our 750 mile drive from there, to Annapolis to pick up GHP and then continue to Syracuse. We hope to see friends and family while up here and then it's pedal down because we really want to get into warm weather!!
