Thanks Joe:

All good info.  I'll make use of it.

I ordered Chart 12205 last week  :-)

Bug spray was not on my packing list....  thanks!!!   On the lake I  
sail the bugs stay on shore at night.

> Also, across the sound from Edenton, tucked back in the trees on Kendrik

> Thurs, Fri, and Sat.  We didn't get to try it so don't know how good it is.

> Across from Edenton is Salmon Creek which provides a great achorage.  At

> Take bug spray.  Even in May we found lots of bugs, or they found us.

> they'll be in August.
>
> Hope this helps.  Chart 12205 covers the area.
