Sunday, November 24th
We had a good trip yesterday despite all the bridges and the difficulties they cause the boat traffic. I do believe every bridge along the East Coast is being rebuilt. This causes trouble with openings for the boat traffic as well as the vehicular traffic. Vehicular traffic complaint cause bridges to open less frequently for boat traffic. If you are not up to the bridge at the opening time, you wait another hour - not so good for planning for your next destination before sunset. Our savior yesterday was a commercial barge at one bridge and TowBoat US at another. Bridges open on demand for commercial traffic.
Anyway, we arrived in good time and pulled up at Bridge Tender's Marina in Wrightsville Beach, NC. We woke up this morning to 30 mph winds out of the North and a high temperature today of 43 degrees. We had a cold walk along the waterway to the beach this morning hoping to let April get a run only to be told on leash only. Then we walked to Harris Teeters and West Marine in the afternoon followed by a lunch at the Fish Pier to warm up. Tonight is expect to go down into the 20's however the winds are supposed to lessen to, so we'll see tomorrow morning what the game plan will be. Southport, NH is our next destination. Blue Indigo Marina has a laundry - a must - and a good place for a dog to run - another must. It has been a long couple of weeks for April only being on leash.
We have no plans for the holiday as we don't know when or where we will be. We need to get South to warmer weather. However, we want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and a special thank you for keeping in touch with us.
