Belhaven, North carolina.

We enjoyed our stay at Elizabeth city and went for supper to a wellknown "Southern style" restaurant "The Colonial" http://thecolonialrestaurant.com/history.htm with Woody on "Bird", Skip and Kathleen on the amazing schooner "Mistress" http://www.1930schoonermistress.com/ and Terry and Mike of "Resolute"! What a nice evening! It wa smild outside, the food was good. I had catfish! it did not go very well with my corn pudding but what the hell...Heiner had Pot Pork Pie that lokks unlike anything we had seen before! but he liked it...and Woody had fried chicken livers which were delicious! We love collard greens...even cold with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and chillies they are quite tasty (Thanks Woody for the tip!).

We have been having good northerly winds since we left Elizabeth City, at the end or our travel in the Dismal Swamp. We cross the Albermarle sound and the Alligator river up to Tuckahoe Point (

And now we are in Belhaven waiting for the stormy weather to stop...and my time at the Library is over!!! Two days to Beaufort....
