>Hello Rhodies,
>
>We leave in the morning for Oriental NC.  Four boats: two Paceship 23, one 
>Tanzer 26 and Raven.  David Schwartz, my T16 dinghy racing crew, has 
>arranged to play hooky from his duties teaching Dookies and signed on for 
>this adventure.
>
>By noon we should be at the ONC Wildlife ramps, rigged by 1 or so, then 
>it's off east to the mouth of the Neuse, about 15-20 miles depending upon 
>which creek or swamp on the south shore we hole up in tomorrow night.
>
>Friday we'll decide to go or not go across another 35 miles of open Pamlico 
>Sound to Ocracoke NC.  If the hurricane comes close enough to increase the 
>winds in the eastern Pamlico above 20, our boat won't go.  The shoals out 
>there get real choppy and rough with sustained winds over 20 and that's 
>just not fun.  Don't want to get stuck on Ocracoke until the middle of next 
>week.  The return trip will be 50 miles in one day, so we're hoping for 
>perfect conditions.
>
>I'll take some pictures and let you know how this turns out.  Please wish 
>us all luck!
