Name that place quiz #2
 

OK, #1 may be too esoteric for those who don't cruise New England.
That's a hint - I'll give the answer tonight.

Here's one that should be easier.

Interesting guess - but wrong.

I'm surprised - no one from this group guessed correctly.

Its Albemarle Sound in northern North Carolina.

The middle top is the end of the Dismal Swamp feeding into the
Pasquotank River, and passing Elizabeth City just where it opens up.
To the east is the standard ICW route, with the Coinjock Canal
showing. On the right is the Outer Banks, with Kill Devil Hill just
above where the edge hits the coast.

To the south of Albemarle Sound is the Alligator River, and beginning
of the Alligator Pungo Canal, which leads to Belhaven and the Pamlico
River.

Although this looks like a pleasant inland bay, the shallow depth (7
feet for much of the area) can create a nasty chop. Most southbound
travelers wait for a northerly wind before crossing. This is one of
my favorite parts of the ICW, with the Pasquotank River offering
gorgeous scenery.

NC, Outer Banks, Kitty Hawk area. Sailed there.

Too short a time limit, I've been out of town.

I didn't recognize it anyway, been a long time since I was there. The
Woods Hole current occasionally pulls the channels markers under water
on their mooring chains... it's a challenging place.

That one's really easy... Albemarle Sound, part of Currituck Sound, and
the Chowan, Alligator, Pasquotank, Scuppernong, & North Rivers. Also a
tiny bit of the Roanoke River on the left. You can see the ICW cuts at
the center bottom (the Alligator-Pungo canal) and mid-right upper
(Coinjock cut); the Dismal Swamp Canal is slightly out of the frame at
the center top.

I hope nobody tries to print this out and use it for navigating, based
on the above info.

Run aground too, I bet.

The water in Currituck Sound is very shallow. I've had sandwiches with
the peanut butter spread thicker. BTW did you stop at Manteo? That's a
pretty cool place (when not jam packed with tourists).

You didn't?

When I say shallow, I mean *shallow*. A lot of Currituck Sound, you
could walk across it and not get your socks wet.

No, but I did flip over.
