Tuesday, November 26th
We woke up to 23 degrees in Wrightsville Beach yesterday. The furnace had run all night. We took our time for breakfast and a dog walk and left the dock about 10:30 AM at 40 degrees. It was not predicted to get any warmer. We were on our way to Southport NC, a 37 mile hop. The waterway was open to the ocean so it remained cold. This is the Cape Fear region. We were changing shifts at the helm and missed our turn back into the ICW. We had picked up the wrong channel. Oopps, quick circle and back to the buoys. We pulled into Indigo Plantation's transit dock around 2 p.m. and I headed for the laundry. April headed for the wonderful area to run, Bill right behind her. Ken and Francie suggested this marina, and it is perfect for April to get some free running time.
It is warm and rainy today - 68 degrees!! The wind will blow hard until Thursday with some severe thunderstorm warnings. So looks like we check out the Southport sights, get clean again and give April some good walks.
