We'll get there, really!

We made it Southport, NC. This is our last stay in North Carolina. We'll actually get to South Carolina tomorrow. We anchored in Wrightsville Beach yesterday. It's a lovely seashore community with a beautiful beach. We took a nice walk along the beach and found some sea glass. The mornings have been pretty frigid. Dressing like we're going to build snowmen was not what I had in mind. But, the sun begins to warm things up as it get higher in the sky. We have been one of about 15 boats all heading down in a group. This is all by coincidence. The bridges and their restrictive openings seem to be regulating the flow of traffic. When there is not a bridge to wait for, everyone goes at their own pace. We're luck to have the sunny weather. This area still needs rain badly. The low water in the intercoastal waterway has created problems for several boats to run aground and have to be pulled off. Close attention to all the markers and the depth sounder is our first priority during this leg. Still meeting lots of nice people all heading south to one port or another. It's been really a cool experience, so far, even with an occasional melt-down here or there.
