Albemarle Sound


Albemarle Sound has a reputation for being stirred up in windy weather.  The sound is shallow and has a rather long east north easterly fetch.  The weather (NOAA0 report said 1-2 ft waves fro the north.  Okay lets go.  Typical, the 1-2 foot waves were actually 2-4 pretty much on the nose, for the first ten miles.  Kinda rocky, but not too bad.  CLICK FOR VIDEO But we then had several 4-6 footers,  just off out starboard nose.  Several things went flying, but no real damage.  It went to 1-3's for the second hour, and 1-2;s for the remainder of the trip, about 3 hours.
