After anchoring in the North River, near the mouth of Broad Creek last night, we woke to a dense fog. The fog quickly lifted when the sun rose. Our trip to Hertford was uneventful. Lots of flat water, mild winds, and beautiful sunshine. We pulled into a nice marina, Albermarle Plantation Marina, one of 9 marinas along the Albermarle sound, that offer free slip space for up to 48 hours. The Plantaion is about 1,40O acres and we had a lovely bike ride exploring it. We are off tomorrow to stay in Edenton for 3 days. There is supposed to be a pretty heavy storm coming our way and we'll hunker down in another free marina.
