[Rhodes22-list] Outer Banks Sea Trials

[Robert Dilk]

   Cape Lookout has a natural anchorage the is just great. But If the
   wind is from the S to SW the path is actually open water and can get
   rough. To go to Ocracoke from Oriental sail (motor) up the ICW and
   overnight at Indian Island anchorage (ask the locals). It is then
   about 25 miles to Ocracoke. And If the winds turn bad to go up the
   Pamlico to Bath or Washington. Washington did a major dock upgrade a
   couple of years ago. Very Nice.
