Here we are passing the Carolina Beach Inlet - fisherman parked on the top left and waves crashing in the inlet with us about a quarter mile away motoring down the ICW.
Its warm and sunny. Dolphins sometimes follow our boat. We have tried many times to get pictures of dolphins right by our boat but they are too quick. We will keep trying to get a good picture of one.
There are numerous bridges that require opening, most on the hour and half hour so you have to time your travels by the bridges in some sections of the ICW.
Bridge closed - everybody waiting.
Bridge swings open - time to scurry through.
We travelled to Wrightsville Beach today and anchored in a bay 1 block from the ocean. Then we hopped into the dinghy and went to shore to the dinghy dock. We took a lovely evening stroll on the beach.
This is the Wrightsville Beach fishing pier - our son Lee says the piers are the best places to surf….
Oct 31- We went back ashore the next morning and had a nice walk to a great breakfast place, Causeway Cafe. Now we are looking for shelter as a strong cold front is expected this weekend. Headed down the Cape Fear River where winds and tides were a bit challenging. Made reservations at a marina in Southport. Bob's sister, Randee and her husband, Dave have a beach place near there.
Nov1- We are safe and snug tied up to the Southport Harbor Village Marina dock now. Randee came and took us grocery shopping. She and Dave are generously hosting a dinner for our group tonight. Its pouring rain now and temperature is dropping.
We have developed a small diesel fuel leak and waiting for a mechanic to come and hopefully fix the problem. Boats need constant attention….
