Day 35 Albemarle Sound pt 1

What a night! Got a few texts, voicemails and comments asking what happened and were we alright. We were and are, but last night was a bit hairy. We didn't have cell service or internet so we did not see a large thunderstorm coming our way. The sky was like 4th of July fireworks. Boat radar did not paint a clear picture until it hit. When we anchored earlier, I suggested  an open area of Little Alligator River, which was not the best location. Our anchor held and we suffered no damage -  only to my nerves (we were actually surprised we had a bimini this morning). John was a rock. Me? Not so much. Beautiful cool weather this morning so we are crossing the sound. It's a bit rough for Jack - he had some tummy track problems but is resting now. Heading for a free dockage in Elizabeth City and we are staying put for a couple days before entering the Dismal Swamp area. More later....
