We are almost at our destination. Monday night we anchored in Deep Creek. The Creek was NOT deep. We went into Lamb's Marina for the night. We thought we would check it out and maybe spend the winter there. It was quite run down and didn't offer pump out. We decided to move on and go with our original plan.
We are finding out that the water on the ICW is not very deep. The average would likely be around 12 feet. The anchorages are never quite what they seem and the reviews are usually years old.
Tuesday we headed towards Belhaven, NC. We knew we would not make it in one day but wanted to be closer. The town has free docks there. No power and you can't use your generator but since it was suppose to be quite windy we thought it would be saver. We ended us anchoring in Babbitt Bay. The temperature dropped at night and it was a bit chilly.
After leaving the Belhaven area we headed to Oriental, NC where there is a free dock as well. Before we arrived in Oriental, NC we went through another Canal. Again, very narrow, and not very deep. What was interesting is the the Coast Guard had a station on the Canal.
I’m so happy you guys are going to arrive at your final destination (finally). It’s time to settle in to your new home for the next 4 months. Can’t wait to hear all about New Bern
