The Alligator River

We crossed the Albemarle Sound to the Alligator River on Thursday.   The Alligator Rivet was a easy passage but a little bit desolate.  More desolate than the Dismal swamp. It's like we went back in time. Aaron was kind of freaking out because he didn't see any alligators and we didn't have cell service  We anchored about 4pm and watched the misquetos swarm our canvas. It made you itch just to see them. Thankfully only one or two made it inside our covering. If really was a quite place, no light pollution, to bad it was cloudy and we could enjoy the stars.  Instead we watched a movie and afterwards couldn't believe it could be so dark out.  Couldn't see much but the anchor lights of the 6 or 7 sailboats in the anchorage.   Today is Friday and we're finishing the Alligator River into the Pamlico River. We are looking at weather and it looks crapy for the next couple of days. Sunday it will be I. The 20's!  Ugh!

This was our dark night.  The dots are Mosquitos.  Look at them all.
