Beaufort to Wilmington
24 November 2007 | Wrightsville Beach, NC
Scott
We left Beaufort on 11/21/2007 at day break. The wind was on our nose again, so we had to motor the majority of the way. The channel entering into Bogue Sound is shoaling and only had about 6 feet of water in some places. We arrived at Sneads ferry about 4pm and anchored for the evening on the waterfront. We left Sneads ferry at daybreak headed for New River. A word of caution for anyone making this journey, there is significant shoaling at green marker 61 A. Tow boat US will be needed if you try to pass close to the markers on the port side, Trust me on this one! We arrived at New River around noon and fixed our turkey Dinner for Thanksgiving. We left New River around 9am headed for Wrightsville Beach We finally had some good wind that was not on our nose and motor sailed. We arrived in Wrightsville around 4pm. Since it was getting cold, we decided to dock at the marina and refuel and have some electricity for heat. So far, a great trip! More to come.
