Our Days Are Starting To Blur Together!

Yesterday morning we left Barefoot Landing as the sun was beginning to rise. The picture shows the swing bridge with the sun coming up behind it. We were the first to leave the dock and went though the bridge opening by ourselves. It was a long day and after a stop in Southport for diesel fuel we went on to Wrigthsville Beach and anchored for the night. It was our first time in this anchorage and it turned out to be very busy and a good one. In the evening the wind died down and we got a good nights sleep.

This was the Pontoon Bridge and as you can see it is being replaced by a high rise. All of us cruisers will be happy. This bridge is only open on the hour and when the tide is extremely low it can't open. Sometimes it breaks down and will be closed for hours even days. Even though it is the only one of it's kind on the East Coast ICW it won't be missed.

This morning we again got up at sunrise. I believe a pattern is beginning to develop again. Thank goodness it will be short lived. We will eventually get to our destination. Our day was long but ended at 3 PM this afternoon. We decided to take a dock at Dudley's Marina. It's an unheard of price of $.75 per foot per night including electric and they have a courtesy car. We needed to get to the grocery store, so what a deal.

Tomorrow we plan to go beyond Oriental, NC and anchor. We don't plan to get up super early but I'm sure we will wake up with the chickens. It's getting late and we both are not long for this world.
