Elizabeth City, the “Harbor of Hospitality,” continues to hold a special place in my heart. Though COVID-19 currently has the free slips at Mariners Wharf roped off, both Jennette Bothers and Mid Atlantic Christian University docks are allowing transients and the price is right—free for 48 hours! There are also plenty of places to anchor nearby. Many restaurants are offering takeout—try Island Time’s family meals to feed a hungry crew for a great price, Montero’s for a big vegetarian menu, Muddy’s for great coffee, and Ghost Harbor Brewing for tasty brew to-go. The quaint downtown makes for a great place to stretch your legs!

We spent about a week in Elizabeth City on this stop so that we could help mom straighten out a few things at her house and see a few friends. It ended up being a cool, rainy week for the most part, but we all worked hard at the house and even got a few boat projects done. As usual, the kids also tried to steal our friends’ pets while we were there.

Freshened the paint on the chain and cleaned the teak!

It was a lovely visit, but it’s time to move on. We will inch north over the holiday weekend and try to avoid the busy areas. We are on our way to the Chesapeake!
