Alligator Creek Marina Alligator River, NC May 31 - June 1, 2016
It was with a bit of sadness we left Dowry Creek in a light fog this AM. I will miss all the lovely birds; redwing blackbirds, cardinals, hummingbirds, terns, seagulls and many others that I couldn’t identify…not to mention the loud frogs!
Now, we are on the Pungo River /Alligator River canal. Dad & mom are trying to keep to the absolute middle because you can see all the old logs, stumps, rocks and buildup along both shores… It’s so incredibly lush with forests, marshes, kudzu and the like…no sounds except our motor and the bird calls…Chariots on Fire seemed like a good music choice through here… Don’t know what got into M & D this AM when they aren’t driving, they’re cleaning…NUTS!
Fortunately, we watched the storms forming all around us but we didn’t encounter rain on our trip today! YEAH! Half way across the Alligator River we finally got cell reception back a little bit at a time…
Made it to Alligator Creek Marina a bit before 3, thanks to the fastest swing bridge opening ever! Wow! Dad actually was able to steam on through full speed ahead…LOL! A blazing 8 knots!!!
Arrived to discover that the grill is suppose to have the Best Cheeseburger Ever!…Hope they get me one!!!

| Not much to see today but lush forests & lowlands...not many boats even |
These markers to Norfolk amuse us...
Keeping our eyes on the storms all around us
Alligator Creek is just as described...very basic but it gets the job done
Part Marina, Shell station, Quick Mart, Boat Launch, Ms Wanda and Logan have you covered!
