It rained until 11:00 a.m. with more rain forecast for the afternoon. We decided to leave and cruise to River Dunes, a planned community with World Class Amenities. After a few hours, the rain stopped, the wind picked up and the sun started to peak through the clouds. Around mid afternoon we came to the Neuse River that runs into the Pamlico Sound. This area, along with Albemarle Sound is one of the meanest and roughest on the ICW. Since it is quite shallow, we had to go out quite a ways into the Pamlico Sound with strong wind and waves on the beam. The ride was certainly "lots of stress for Thress". We finally reached the Broad Creek where we were in protected waters.
As we motored into the River Dunes harbour, the view was hard to believe. In the middle of "no where" was a beautiful marina community. You have to see it too believe it. Since it was "off season", we were one of the only boats with people staying onboard. The majority of the homes, condos and cottages were also not occupied. We had a very peaceful night of rest.
