Into North caroloina

Just a quick note - we have only fringe wireless coverage.  We haven't had Wi-Fi or phone signals the past two days, thus no updates.  (Or nothing interesting to report, or blogger's block - take your pick of excuses.)  Since we left Norfolk/Virginia Beach we have been in the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway). The first 2 days saw a steady stream of boats going south.  We're virtually the smallest boat we've seen so they are all passing us, especially the 50 foot and longer power boats!  They cruise by at 20 plus knots.  Actually most of them slow down but their wakes still toss us around like a bathtub toy.  Tonight we stopped in Bath, NC.  It's supposed to be quaint and historical.  Tomorrow we plan to head to Washington, NC to try to see some old sailing friends from another time and place.
