We’ve made it all the way to the most southern point in North Carolina, Southport. It’s been quite the journey through the “ditch” with swing and bascule bridges, dolphins or porpoises and of course the dreaded sandbars. After leaving Elizabeth City, we traveled along the Intercoastal waterway to Beaufort. We had the most amazing thunderstorms that day but we weathered it fine. It took us a day and a half to travel from Beaufort to Southport again using the ditch, all south and south west wind these days.
Today we had lots of fun, running aground as the tide was going out. Not great. Thank goodness we bought Sea Tow service (it’s like CAA for boats). We contacted them and within 20 minutes we were moving again.
We are staying at South Harbor Village Marina today and tomorrow and we’ll be leaving here on Wed. If all goes well and weather is good, we should cross into Florida in 10 days.
Hope everyone is having a good summer. Here are Some more pics to enjoy.
