We've been exploring the Albemarle Sound for the last few weeks. It's challenging, but two days ago we had a ripsnorting sail east down the sound and arrived in Roanoke. Roanoke, North Carolina is the last known home of Walter Raleigh's Lost Colony.
The ship is the Elizabeth II a reproduction of one of the ships that helped found the colony. It's neat how primitive she looks compared to ship’s of our age.

Lovely ship Dobbs. Reminds me very much of Cabot's Matthew in Bristol docks.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
