Took Sailor to the shell bank, hoisted the dinghy and the engine topside, and pulled anchor by 0815. By the time we arrived at Southport, the wind was blowing 30-35 knots from the southeast. None of the anchorages suggested by the cruising guides were acceptable for a boat the size and draft of Seascape so we decided to dock at Southport Marina. We hated to do it but none of the alternatives were good. We were docked by 1315. Although the marina will be very nice when it is completed, it wasn’t worth the $82.00 they charged us.
We ate a quick bite after docking and set out to get our mail ,that had been sent to the Southport Post Office general delivery, and see the town. It was a nice place with many historic homes that had been restored beautifully. The library didn’t have wireless internet and the nearby coffee shop’s connection was intermittent and very slow. Either the poor connection or something I did caused our blog to disappear.
We walked back to the boat and put our clothes in the washer and showered while the were washing. We fried the shrimp we had bought at Calabash for dinner with sweet potatoes and a salad. The wind died during the night
