The rain and wind continued overnight. We pulled blankets out of storage and slept well as the cabin temperature dropped into the mid-50s. The first order of business this morning was to turn on the heat. A quick check of the anchor monitor showed that we were again holding strong and forming a nice "banana." The scene outside was gloomy so I did my yoga stretching and then went to work on some chores to keep busy. Our daily pantry was restocked from storage and the cabin was vacuumed before lunch.
For the afternoon, I brought a blanket up to the pilothouse and spent a few hours reading and checking in with several friends. Slowly but surely the dreary clouds began to clear and the sun came out -- literally and figuratively. I made personal pizzas for dinner and we enjoyed a nice sunset here in Belhaven.
The Alligator River Swing Bridge was closed today because of high winds. We couldn't have reached our next destination of Camden Point if we had tried. It was the perfect day to take a break. We'll leave in the morning to pass through the bridge then cross the Albemarle Sound. We are three travel days away from tying up in our home slip where we'll continue to socially distance ourselves, but with electricity and the opportunity to go for a walk.
