Following up on a comment made by a seasoned member in another section about doing a trip in some of you guys territory, I thought I would share a venture with you that SWMBO and I do from time to time in the area of the Pamlico Sound and Core Banks, a lovely but lonely place on most occasions.
This is the" Oyster" banks as I call it which has been left undisturbed and we take our small skiff with provisions and spend the day, especially in the fall and winter. Thats about the only time that we can do that with the huge mosquitos that we get the rest of the year. They are known as our "state Bird" HEHE! You can hear them coming like one of those fighter jets
You can see how the sawgrass and the natural enviroment has created quite a blend and mix of natural beauty over the years and no one dare to venture either. Every now and then there will be a few kayakers along the beginning area. But not where we wonder
This is our extended cruising model of a small and portable runabout. Its easily flipped up on a truck bed canoe rack or a cartop carrier, and all the guts are made to be easily removable even the full decking. The seat thwarts are adjustable for rowing or shifting weight if I am in the boat by myself. All the cargo has its place leaving the decks clear. The fuel tank is stowed foward under the decking and the anchor is hung from the underside of the deckover too. Storage is in each seat thwart. .
Beginning.
We wonder into some of the little creeks off the main river, creek or whatever you may call it.
This is the main channel and the banks close up showing how over the many years Mother Nature has done her thing too.
This is the end leading out to Pamlico Sound, and in the winter, ducks galore!

For anyone interested ,you can go to this link which is the chart for that remote region which is also on the sound side of Ocracoke Inlet and Island and click on the thumbnail. You can continue to click across the chart and it will move and enlarge too.
From there go to the bottom left corner and place your mouse there and click. That will enlarge and bring up what is known as Thourofare bay and will show a cut through from Core Sound to the the southern Pamlico Sound. This region is not to favorable for the faint at heart and can be a "memorable experience with bugs and wind when it begins to blow in the fall of the year too. Those mosquitos also love new and imported cuts of meat too.
But the fishing for trout will also return you dinner for the campfire too. Its deepwater and some of the commerical net boats used to use it in bygone days along with the crabbers from the barrier islands. If you also look closely, the Cedar Island ferry is also shown in the center to right of the blue and white marked waters.
