14 Mar - Day #10. Woke early to finish up some navigation console wiring before getting underway. It's in the 40's with a low, solid overcast. The winds are down in the 10 to 15kt range from the NE. As we ready to depart at 1000 the winds pipe-up yet again. Alligator bridge is reporting 20+kts. We delay until noon. Off we go to lessening winds and seas. Bounce off the bottom about two miles north of Alligator River (John was at the helm). The good news is that the depth sounder worked great—it's alarm warning us of the thinning water. We anchor in the Alligator River at the mouth of the Pungo Canal. 38nm day; 229nm total. DBH
