Juniper Bay
Fishing boats on Pamlico
Of course when I got up and took a look at the charts we had to go half way to Orcacoke to get around a shoal. We motor sailed at about 7 knots and arrived at Oriental at 2:00.

Tuesday we stopped in Juniper Bay on the west side of Pamlico Sound
We went in to a little isolated bay with good protection from north and west. It was going to blow up to about 20 knots. The next day it was going to be windy and from the west and north. If we went to this isolated bay we could sail along the coast to Oriental. The draw back was no telephone or internet connection. This is why we could not be found.

Your AIS signal has been excellent on "Vessel Finder". It accurately displayed your track, position in Jupiter Bay and your current location in Oriental. I have been following your trip with great interest , particularly the bridge clearances. You stated that your mast is 63', has it been shortened ? I have never measured mine,but believe it to be 64.5' plus the antenna. I do go under a 65' bridge at Fire Island and have hit it with my antenna and wind vane at high tide. Hope you and the family are enjoying the trip. Bob Van Tassel
