We’re underway at 0630 as planned. We’re fighting tide and wind at times, but we manage to make the 9AM opening at Surf City Bridge. Still pushing hard, we manage to make a 1230PM opening at the Figure Eight Island Bridge. From there we either fought or rode the tidal current at Mason, Masonboro and Carolina Beach Inlets as we continued south. After passing MM 295 we turned into an anchorage behind Pleasure Island just north of Carolina Beach. The main anchorage area was already crowded so we opted for the alternate anchorage and dropped our hooks.Everyone was tired and a weather front was coming so we decided remain on our respective boats and not to socialize that evening. Donna and I settled in for the evening as the wind increased to 10-15 with gusts to 20. After the Hurricane Noel experience in Broad Creek it seemed rather tame.
Location: Carolina Beach, NC. ICW MM 295. Today’s progress: 49 Statute Miles
