11-10-2008 After a brief visit to Manteo, we decided to take advantage of the pleasant although slightly chilly weather to keep heading down the ditch. We made it to ICW mile 101.1 in the Alligator River. So far we have not seen any alligators, but have been advised not to go swimming.
Tomorrow's destination is yet undecided. Our only concern is for the Wilkerson Bridge, that is a stated height of 64' at mean high tide. The standard for fixed bridges is 65'. Our mast is 63'. During exceptionally high tides there will be less clearance at the bridge. From the information I have read the tidal marker is not present at the bridge. It should be a fun day.
