Day 27-Belhaven, NC to Alligator River East Lake Anchorage

Thursday April 24, 2025

After our breakfast, we decided it was time to go. We have a 50 mile day today. Over 20 miles is through the Alligator River Canal. It is heavily wooded, not many homes and supposedly home to lots of alligators.

We went through a long section that looked like there had been a fire at some point. Black trees, lots of dead amongst new growth. Once we got through the Canal, it opened up to a larger lake. It was pretty open and 20 miles long so the wind came at us. It wasn’t too bad until the last several miles. We were Rockin and Rollin a bit.

I tried to take a video but got my phone a bit wet, so I quit😂

Came to the Alligator River Swing bridge just in time for it to open.

After dodging too many crab pots, we made it to our place for the night. We are here with 4 other boats (3 of them are loopers). The wind calmed down and it should be a good night!

But…did I see one alligator all day?

NOOOOOO!
