We pulled anchor about 0900 in Little River and headed west up Albemarle Sound for the town of Edenton, NC. We headed directly into a west wind all the way. It was choppy but comfortable. Edenton has a small marina for visiting boaters inside a breakwater. Boaters can dock free for 48 hours. After 48 hours they charge $1.00/foot/day for up to a week. The only other charge ie $3.00/day for electricity. The facilities are very nice with clean showers and free wireless internet. Surrounding the marina is a well maintained park that was very busy on Sunday afternoon and evening.
Edenton has an extensive historic district. It is the second oldest town in NC. A permanent settlement was established in the 1650s. Some of the original homes are still standing. It was also the first capitol of NC.
After we hooked up we both took showers wend went for a walk around town. We went for a second long walk before dinner to look at some of the beautiful historic homes.
