We cast off by 7 am for a 7 hour cruise to Wrightsville Beach, NC. It was an easy cruise but a lot of concentration for John as we were cruising during low tide and you have to stay in a narrow strip of a very wide bay. It looks like big deep water, but there are shoals everywhere except one narrow channel that has been dredged for boat traffic. We docked at Seaport Yacht Club and walked to town and checked out the beach. It’s an interesting vibe – very much like Hermosa Beach in the old days with everything low key and all about surfing. A big difference though was a lot of people were smoking. When I was growing up, no one smoked as all the surfers and volleyball players were super health conscious. But it was fun to see places like this still exist.
We stopped in for an early dinner at a cute healthy Mexican restaurant called Tower 7 Baja that had surf movies playing, then walked back to the boat.
