December 2, 2014 Day 11 South for Winter
At
anchor Carolina Beach, NC
Another
long travel day as we continued south from Swansboro, NC. Sixty-six miles and four
bridges concerned us at first, but we made it through with no problem. One of the bridges had enough clearance at
low tide that we were able to go under after Bill lowered our antennas.
We
did see some skinny water and had to slow down and get through these shallow
areas.
We
saw several dolphins today which always pleases us. We could finally see sections of the ocean in
areas of the ICW that had inlets. There
were very few boats out today and we usually had the waterway to ourselves.
We
arrived at our anchorage at Carolina Beach at 3:40. We had dinner onboard, watched some
television, and prepared for our trip tomorrow. We will go to Barefoot Marina
in North Myrtle Beach, SC for two or three days. We look forward to visiting Looper friends, Rick
and Margi there.
