Washington to Beaufort, NC

Passed this rig in the Pamlico River leaving Washington, NC.  After the Pamlico, we turned south into Goose Creek that led us into a canal that passed under the Hobucken Bridge - can't make these names up.  This dropped us into the Neuse River for a short distance until we turned into Broad Creek to spend the night on anchor.

What Broad Creek lacked in amenities, i.e., cell phone coverage, it made up for in quiet beautiful surroundings.  The shore line was mostly tall pines with a few houses sprinkled in.  

In the morning we took a beating heading into a strong south wind on the Neuse River until we got to Adams Creek and the canal that led us to Beaufort.  Meeting this guy in the canal was a little intimidating.

Beaufort is pronounced Bo-fort.  If you pronounce it Bew-fort like the town in South Carolina, the locals say, "You ain't from around here, is ya'all?"
