North Carolina

18 October 2014
Since we left Beaufort, NC, we stopped at Cape Lookout to see the lighthouse and wild horses.

We then sailed overnight to Wrightsville Beach, NC. We biked 25 miles to visit our old sailing friends Nancy & Rick "Angel Eyes" who were in Wilmington, NC. It was such a nice reunion. We spent 2 months sailing the Bahamas with them last year sharing Mahi Mahi and lobsters. We will sail with them to Charleston next.

We left Wrightsville Beach and went down the ICW to Bald Head Island. You can't anchor there so we took a slip. It's well worth the stop. At this Island, there are no cars, just golf carts and bikes. We biked all around, watched the Bluefish tournament, walked the beach, and did a nature hike. I definitely recommend visiting this beautiful Island.

One weird thing about North Carolina is that there is NO happy hour. Basically, they aren't allowed to discount drinks. Oh well, we still had drinks at our Happy hour !

Next stop, Charleston, SC.
