AmosSwogger Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 A sailing group called the OBX130 is organizing a sailing trip starting from Bath, NC June 14-20. This trip is ideal for Core Sound boats. Members here might be interested, come join me! So far there are two boats committed to the adventure; myself and the organizer. There are no signups, no fees, and feel free to do all or just part of the trip. "The Inner Banks 130 Proposed route for June 14 - 20 adventure. Boats will launch at Potter's Marina, Bath, NC and will overnight at a nearby anchorage. Monday morning we will hoist the sails and depart for Washington. Washington has a free City dock available, a nice anchorage and a beautiful waterfront park. For those brave enough, you can visit Bill's Hot Dogs for a special experience. Tuesday, we will sail east to the town of Bath with a stop at Goose Creek State Park. Bath has a free State dock and several anchorages. Bath is a beautiful little town with plenty of history and room to move around without bumping into people. Wednesday will be our longest day covering about 40 miles, ending with our anchorage in South River. South River is full of nature and we will also visit the remnants of an abandoned village and cemetery. Thursday will be spent exploring South River and sailing to Oriental where we will overnight in Greens Creek. Friday, we will return to an anchorage near Potter's." If you are interested search out the Facebook group "OBX130", or if you don't have a Facebook account, just let me know in this thread and I will take it from there. This a very informal and flexible trip/adventure. If you want to meet us at a particular village and/or anchorage, that is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I am lined up to go. I am 25 miles from Potters Marina so I will sail up on the 14th. John worked out a nice cruise. The weather has been crazy this spring so far but there is plenty of opportunity to refine the cruise as the weather dictates. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Anderson Posted May 31, 2020 Report Share Posted May 31, 2020 I launched out of Potters Marina several years ago and explored Rose Bay and Judith Island. It is a beautiful area and I have wanted to go back. I would love to join you but I am not sure if I can be ready. I am doing some repainting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Dang, I'd love to tag along in Old Codger, even if he is a stink-pot. Just too far to come from here in the mountains. I'd especially love to visit the abandoned village!!! I'm hoping to get down there later this summer depending on Covid-19 travel conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict your paint will be dry in time for you to make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Anderson Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Have a wonderful trip. It would be great if you can post a trip report and let us know how it went. You were right the paint did dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick C Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I added a couple of pics of Amos to the album. Those were the best two -- one-handed composition often doesn't work! He was very well balanced with a tiller tamer (I need to get one) and could take pics with two hands. I need to make a longer main sprit or finagle my rigging to be able to trim out that crease. Otherwise everything works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
