Oct. 9, 2008 Alligator River, N.C

We took a short hop from CoinJock, N.C. to the Alligator River Marina. We could not get into this marina last year because the water level was too low. This year it is higher but there is a "low spot" as you enter the marina. Well we hit the low spot and had to "motor about 30-40 feet" across the mud until we hit good water. We watched another sail boat hit the "low spot" so that is the entertainment of this marina! The water level is a little higher this morning so hopefully we will not have 30 to 40 feet of mud to cross as we head south to Belhaven, N.C. as we journey on the intercoastal waterway.
