Well, we are sure moving along the SE coast! .This time to Southport which offers the Cape Fear Inlet used by large container vessels going up to Willington. We had stay here back in November 2011 when we came down with Rhonda and John. Remembered it as a quaint little town with a nice marina with tiled and wooden floating docks. We were very impressed!There was a bit of a swell in the ocean but not too bad and good SW winds which fortunately were light..Very little boat traffic and after 61/2 hours we tied up on a face dock. Our friendly staff met us and we purchases some of their local peanuts and a free USA Today newspaper.We went for a walk (our only exercise these days) and explored the town.Apart from the lovely old sea captains cottages there is one main street. Restaurants didnt look that great.We had a cold beer at one overlooking the ICW and decided to cook our own dinner on board.
Over and Out,
E n G
