On the Nth Carolina / Virginia border we came up astern of the first ever Nordhavn power boat –  a 46 ft boat with the number 46-01.  Built in 1989.  We, for example, are 64-17.

The old lady kindly pulled over in a big bend and let her younger sibling through. We were hoping to visit but have not yet seen her to the north.

After departing Manteo we rejoined the ICW and crossed from North Carolina into Virginia. The ICW on this leg was a mixture of canals and barrier islands, shallow at times but no more groundings.

This must be the lowest bridge in the system, 6 foot clearance, even the fizz boats had to wait for an opening.

And our first lock.
