CT to FL Day 18
Swansboro, NC to Carolina Beach, NC
We left Swansboro ar 0745... was a beautiful day... sunny and mild winds.. did have several hours of current against us... but averaged over 6 knots for the day.
Had a very nice bridge tender today in Wrightsville Beach... he actually hailed us and said he was going to delay the bridge opening so that we would be able to make his scheduled opening... this rarely happens. They normally stick tight to their opening schedule. If he had not done this we would of had to sit for an hour waiting for his next opening.
We had planned to get a mooring ball in Carolina Beach but we they were all taken... so we dropped the hook just north of the mooring field... we were secure on the hook at 1645. Our location for night
N34°03.150',W077°53.280'. We traveled today for 9.0 hours covering 57.5 nautical miles averaging 6.4 knots.
