I was at the propane shop at 07:45 and filled up both tanks. We headed north as soon as I got back on the boat, and transited the Alligator/Pungo Canal and north on the Alligator River in S 25-35 (forecast was S 15-20), all the way through the Alligator River Swing Bridge to the Alligator River Marina. This is a nice little marina, but unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing there but the Shell gas station. The original plan was to weather the storm front here, but I think we will die of boredom if we are stuck here for 3 or 4 days, so, weather permitting, we are going to try for Manteo in the morning.
