By Sea - Arriving by Boat
From the North:
If you're navigating in from points North (Norfolk, Albemarle, Pungo), when you get to the mouth of the Pungo River, pass the Pungo River marker # "PR" on you starboard side and make a gradual starboard turn until you are centered in the Pamlico River headed northwest at approximately 300 degrees. You will pass Indian Island to your port, Bath Creek to your starboard, Broad Creek to starboard, all of which can be sailed. After clearing Broad Creek, you will need to follow the channel markers fairly closely (all red-right-returning) to the Washington Railroad Bridge. The channel should clear no less than 7 or 8 feet at its shallowest, but don't worry if you run aground...the bottom is all soft sand and mud...easy to get off and we have no lunar tide!
From the South:
If you're navigating in from points south (Beaufort, New Bern, Oriental), leave the Pamlico Sound, enter Bay River and get into the I.C.W. headed north on Goose Creek. When Goose Creek joins the Pamlico River, get well-clear of the last I.C.W. marker (Green # 1) and make a gradual port turn until you are centered in the Pamlico River headed northwest at approximately 300 degrees. You will pass Indian Island Green # 3 to your port, Bath Creek to your starboard, Broad Creek to starboard, all of which can be sailed. After clearing Broad Creek, you will need to follow the channel markers fairly closely (all red-right-returning) to the Washington Railroad Bridge. The channel should clear no less than 7 or 8 feet at its shallowest, but don't worry if you run aground...the bottom is all soft sand and mud...easy to get off and we have no lunar tide!
From the East:
If you're navigating in from points East (Hatteras, Ocracoke), head for the mouth of the Pamlico River. Run up the centerline of the Pamlico River headed northwest at approximately 300 degrees. You will pass Indian Island to your port, Bath Creek to your starboard, Broad Creek to starboard, all of which can be sailed. After clearing Broad Creek, you will need to follow the channel markers fairly closely (all red-right-returning) to the Washington Railroad Bridge. The channel should clear no less than 7 or 8 feet at its shallowest, but don't worry if you run aground...the bottom is all soft sand and mud...easy to get off and we have no lunar tide!
The Final Approach from all directions!
The Washington Railroad Bridge is open unless a train is approaching. After passing through the railroad bridge, continue westward toward the City waterfront. You will pass the North Carolina Estuarium on your starboard side (the building has a silver metal roof which can be seen from some distance down river). The City docks begin just after the Estuarium. As you move further west, the first 6 City docks are "alongside" docks. The next 6 City docks are "T-docks" with inside slips.
After another 200 yards, the next dock is the Carolina Wind dock. It is the last dock headed west...almost to the highway 17 bridge.
