Well, it was time to say goodbye to my friends from Sea Path Yach Club in Wrightsville Beach and head south. I made some really good friends there and its a great marina. I plan to return there in the spring.
I got underway at 10:30 after the swimming portion of the Beach to Battle Triathlon ended and I was able to get out of my marina. I headed south on the ICW and through Snows cut and into the Cape Fear River.
At the mouth of the Cape Fear River, where it opens into the Atlantic Ocean, is Bald Head Island Marina. I chose this as my destination because my plan is to head off-shore and do a 24 hour off-shore sail to Charleston. Not only is it supposed to be a beautiful day for a sail but it will also put me 182 miles closer to Key West in one (long) day.
Here's a picture of the Bald Head Island light house.
