Final look at Elizabeth City. Hopefully the sun will be shinning when I return next April.
Blimp at US Coast Guard Station, Elizabeth City. The hangar is relatively new. In 1990 I came this way the there were two WOODEN structures built during WWII. They burned sometime between 1990 and 2004--my second trip.
Look at the size in relation to the trees!!
Wing and wing crossing the Abermarle Sound--well at least part of the way.
Cockpit-- drying dock lines from Elizabeth City's rain. Also tools- chart, binoculars, RAM Mic, GPS on nav pod, and autohelm--otherwise could not have taken the picture.
Had the best luck when it was time to cross the Albemarle Sound. No seas.
Picture of the helm. And I'm thinking the instruments show THREE important readings.
1) lower right --dept is good 19',
2) top center-- wind is aft of the beam, and
3) center-- compass is point SOUTH!!

Alligator River/Pungo River Canal. It's 20 miles long and has only one turn, but someone thought it required a daymark...

Looking down the Hobucken Canal.
