We traveled only 30 miles to Seapath Yacht Club in Wrightsville Beach, NC. This was the first time in months that we knew it was a weekend because of how many boaters were on the water. We had several spots with some shoaling to watch out and with all the other traffic I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. It felt like we were back home on the small chain of lakes in Illinois. Lots of boaters!!
Arriving at the yacht club (which was very nice) we needed to take on fuel and pump out. We were waiting for our turn on the dock, actually waiting for the deck hand to give us the OK, when a small go-fast boat totally cut in front and starting fueling up. I was ready to jump off the boat and kick some you-know-what...but he was much bigger than me!
Once we were docked, I made lunch and we took the dinghy down and went sight seeing. What a great little spot we found. Lots of boats to check out, several restaurants/bars, and most important...a seafood market!! We bought our dinner and headed back to the boat to relax and have dinner. I did some laundry and we went over our route for the next day. It should be an interesting one as we have several bridges that only open on either the half hour or the hour, and lots of shoaling to worry about. Not my ideal way to boat but this is the ICW...bridge restrictions, other boaters and shallow water to contend with. Ben and I would prefer to boat on the outside (the Atlantic Ocean) with none of these worries but our buddy boat does not want to do that so we will grin and bear it!
Until then, we are enjoying our time here in Wrightsville Beach. Next time around I would like to check this town out.
