March 5 - River Dunes to Belhaven, NC

More "stress for Thress" was on today's agenda. The Pamlico Sound was still rough, but soon the route took us inland with good protection from the strong wind. This protection was lost when we had to cross the Pamlico River. The Pungo River was even rougher - things that were not tied down or behind locked doors went flying.  Our marina for the
night was Dowry Creek Marina, located just east of Belhaven. We were met by friendly staff and fellow boaters who all
helped getting us tied up. Afterwards we learned that we had battled wind gusts that had been clocked as high as 55 miles per hour. Around the marina we could see reminders of huricanes that had hit this area. Luckily the winds were forecast to diminsh and tomorrow was to be a great day.
