13 December - Day #11. The day dawns cold, wet, and windy. The promised storm has arrived. Pelican Marina is a mite exposed making last night's sleep fitful. But hey, the space heaters worked great. After a little debate we decide to take the rental car to Manteo, another spot cruisers really seem to like. Manteo is just south of Kitty Hawk and east of the Alligator River. First we stop by the Alligator River Marina and say hi to Jack and Lynn (Felix). Manteo is a cute little place but we had a hard time envisioning all it's attractions because of the wind and rain. Back in Elizabeth City we dropped the car off and walked the three miles back to the marina. We took advantage of the infinite dock water and did the laundry and filled the tanks. In Pelican Marina, Elizabeth City, NC. 0nm today and 185nm total. DBH
