I got stuck in the mud one night just passed coinjock pretty bad, no tides there. It was that first left bend. When you make that first left after the stretch of straight waterway at coinjock. Trying to get myself out of the mud not knowing if I’m in the channel or not was not fun. Took anchor deployments, tilting the boat by rising the dinghy on the boom along the side, etc…. I was muddy tired and miserable, about the say f** it and just go to bed like that, but then I saw a huge tug come right by me too close for comfort. They all appear bigger and closer all lit up in pitch black. He obviously just went about his business probably laughing hi a88 off. By the wee hours of the morning I was once again floating, and decided to go back to a slip in coinjock and sleep for a while.
The next morning I was freaking out a little bit even in daylight going by the scene of the “death trap”. >From that day on, never in the dark in the ICW. My old log from those days is here. http://sundowner-cruise.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html Petar Horvatic Sundowner 76 C&C 38MkII Newport, RI From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Brass Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 8:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Stus-List Andrew running the ditch south Andrew; I don’t envy you about running the stretch through Currituck Sound and Coinjock In the dark. Lots of shallow and narrow to look out for, even with little or no wind last night. Since you are likely to be taking a pause in Beaufort tonight, would you be interested in getting together for a drink? I’d offer you and your owners hospitality in Washington, but you are probably going to be south of here before you see this message.

Bob Perry design. Giving a couple a little training on operating the boat and sailing offshore. Right now we're entering Currituck Sound, planning to go past Coinjock, NC and into Albemarle Sound and then the Alligator River. We should hit the Alligator-Pungo Canal about sunup and carry right on through to Beaufort, Nc, where we'll sit out a rather nasty low that's coming up the coast with very strong winds and lots of rain. I expect we'll head offshore on Thursday with nice northerlies. Peregrine is all put away in Portsmouth, Ri. But don't think I haven't considered how much fun it would be to do this in my boat!

She seems to have had a few designations in terms of hull. Here is what I know. She came from the factory in 1993 designated as 34/36+ hull but had the triple spreader offshore rig. Some time around 2000 or so she was retrofitted with the 6'4" Rob Ball designed "mid-draft" keel replacing the 7'4" original. I have seen her rated as an XL and currently is rated by YRALIS as an XLMD (for mid-draft).
