Seafarer Sail On Program Sails from Belhaven, NC to Columbia, NC

The girls left Belhaven, NC this morning after taking on fuel and a few provisions in town. The crew navigated Jeanie B through the Alligator River-Pungo River Canal and into the Alligator River. After putting up the sails we enjoyed a long down wind sail through the Alligator River and under the Highway 64 bridge.The girls docked Jeanie B at the Alligator River Marina and enjoyed dinner on docks followed by ice cream at the Marina Grill. They plan to sail to Manteo in the morning.
