Report re Albemarle Sound Power Lines Enroute to Edenton, NC
The Edenton Town Docks overlook the Edenton city waterfront, north of unlighted daybeacon #8. Edenton, one of the Colonial Capitals of North Carolina, lies well off the AICW, on the western reaches of Albemarle Sound.
The charted power lines that Wade mentions below cross the width of Abemarle Sound from Horniblow Point to Mackeys.
In addition, today we cruised into Edenton, which is just as you described [in “Cruising Guide to North Carolina”], except Mario’s Restaurant has been sold and is now known as Kristys Place. Anyway, on the way to Edenton, we went under the overhead power lines [as charted], but there weren’t any lines! There are a couple of barges with cranes, however, so I think they’re stringing new lines.

A couple of days ago I emailed you about the “missing” power lines as you cruise towards Edenton NC. Well, today I spoke with the captain of one of the tugs working with the barges – he told me that the TOWERS are going to be replaced with higher ones, so I guess the project will be going on for a while.
