We had to walk Seascape back to the end of the face dock and pull her around the end because there wasn’t enough room in the small basin to maneuver. Once we got it around, we both jumped aboard and I backed her as far as I could and thin used power and the thruster to swing her 90 degrees out the narrow opening in the breakwater. I was glad that there wasn’t very much wind.
We had to wait 50 minutes at the Surf City swing bridge because it only opens on the hour,15 minutes at the Figure Eight Island swing bridge which only opens on the half hour, and over an hour at the Wrightsville Beach bascule bridge. We anchored in the bight just southwest of Mitts Channel, inside the protection of Wrightsville Beach in 12 feet of water. The 40 miles had taken us five and one half hours because of the bridges.
We took Sailor to shore in the dinghy and bought a few groceries at a small beach market
