Old problem areas behind us!!

12 June 2010 | Carolina Beach NC
Even 1st mate Miss Bridget took a turn at the helm. Only problem was she wanted to head for the green stuff!!!!
If anyone has not noticed, we have added back the link to our realtime position reporting. It works through Spot & Google & tracks our position every 20 minutes.
Another great day on the waterway.Very hot and sunny. We saw three dolphin and Al saw a huge sea turtle. Many sports boats were out today, causing mild grief. Unlike heading south in the cold of December, some dredging has been done in some problem areas so we breezed through places like Cape Fear, Lockwoods Folly and Shalotte Inlet. We pulled into Joyner Marina, at the top of Snows Cut. Its on Carolina Beach which is a 10 minute walk away. We put in a long day today and Al's neck is sore and given the wild weekend warriors on the waterway we have decided to stay until Monday morning and maybe take Bridget to the beach tomorow. We missed Oriental on the way down so after consulting with the captain, I would like a little time there before we get to Belhaven. This should still get us to Dowry Creek by mid week, easily. Man time flies.
