A Pleasant Visit to Belhaven (Statute Mile 135.5)
Yes indeed, Belhaven is, in my humble opinion, a fine stop on the AICW, and with Brenda and Les, waiting to greet cruisers at Belhaven Waterway Marina, (A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR), you be be assured of a warm and knowledgable welcome. If you’re not as luck as to run into a special community dinner, check out the adjacent firms, “Wine and Words” and “Back Bay Cafe.”
The USCG annouced warnings for tropical storm Cristobal, so we decided to stop over at Bellhaven. This turn out to be a great decision because they were having there annual “Pirates on the Pungo” Festivities. We went into town and enjoyed a wonderful seafood buffet in support of the local hospital. We were then entertained by the Craig Woolard band. Beach music at its best. We ended up walking back to the marina late that night. It was great walking through that old town. We reminised about our almost 30 day trip, 650 miles logged.

We agree. Very warm and hospitable folks. We arrived on Wednesday so Gerogies was closed. Darn!
