I have to say after sailing down the coast to some of the most popular places on the Carolina coast, I still have to say "I live in paradise"!!!
All the big money and fancy huge waterftont homes of Wilmington do not shake a stick at what jewel we have right here in the Bogue Inlet.
We sailed up here 25 years ago on our liveaboard 41' trimaran and when I woke up on the foredeck the next morning, "When, what to my wondering eyes should appear" but my new HOME PORT....

I think it took sailing away from here and returning to validate why this place became my home! As I came north a long the ICW I couldn't resist taking a right hand turn into Cow's Channel out to my beloved Bear Island and the glittering Bogue Sound, a sight for sore eyes.
Bald Head Island was richly quaint and the people so kind, but I think it took me by surprise how I felt to be back home....this place is beyond compare! If you're not a water person you would not understand~
