We left Elizabeth City early in the morning in the company of some of the boats we accompanied us through the last part of the Dismal Swamp Canal. The other boats had a long trip ahead of them through the Albemarle Sound then the Alligator River before finding a suitable anchorage. Because of Serenity's short draft, we were able to pull into a small creek off of Catfish Point in the Alligator River (35 46.004N/076 03.817W). This is the second time we have been in there, and both times it as a white knuckle ride across a 6' bar. And, both times we tried to venture further back where the charts show 17' of water and grounded our 4.2' keel.
Guests, more later...
