Hoping to get away from the blind mosquitoes, we pulled the anchor around 0731 and departed Little River for Hertford, NC. We ran southeast to the mouth of Little River, around a point of land and then northwest up the Perquimans River for about 10 miles to the little town of Hertford, NC. The little village seems undiscovered by cruising boats and by tourists alike. Some of the houses date from antebellum and even Revolutionary War times.
We anchored in about 10 feet of water within sight of the town. We took Sailor in at 1230 , nearly 16 hours since his last trip to shore. He didn’t seem to mind much; he still took his time to find just the right spot. We walked around town but nearly everything was closed because of the holiday {Memorial day).
We went back to town about 1700 to see if we could get to the grocery store. We were told that Food Lion was a short walk away but it turned out to be more than a mile to the store. We checked on a taxi but Herford doesn’t have taxi service, As a result we could buy only what we could carry back to the dock.
We had to walk fast since we had to be back before dark. Dora was pretty tired by the time we reached Seascape.
