Day 225-227
We were planning to stay at Fairfield Harbor until Tuesday, but when we checked the weather reports Monday morning we decided that it would be better to travel on Monday rather than on Tuesday. We set off a little late and the weather and wind were fine until we began to cross the Pamlico River. On the way across the wind began to pick up and by the time we had crossed into the Pungo River we had some uncomfortable waves. Fortunately, the turn into the Pungo put the wind and waves on ur stern and the ride was much more comfortable up to Belhaven.
We pulled into the River Forest Marina and decided with the increasing winds predicted for the next day that we would just stay put until Wednesday. We used the extra day to catch up on the blog and some chores. River Forest has a free laundry with new high-efficiency machines, so it was a good place to get that chore out of the way. Since we are headed to the AGLCA (America's Great Loop Cruisers Association) rendezvous in Norfolk the following week we saw a number of boats in the marina that night going to the same place. The marina in Norfolk could not take us until Sunday anyway, so we saw no reason to rush. Belhaven responded by treating us to a pretty sunset.
