Wilmington, NC

We did a long day from Swan Point, NC, down the ICW past Carolina Beach, through Snow's Cut, up the Cape Fear River to Wilmington City Docks (34 14.306N/077 57.090W).  It was a day of fast and slow.  Once we had to put the peddle to the metal to make a bridge opening, then we had to slow down to time the next bridge.  The current from the inlets to the Atlantic Ocean played with us also.  At times over a knot of speed was shaved off by current, ant other times we were flying:

9.4 Knots was our best!

Under the Carolina Beach Bridge over Snow's Cut, we decided to give this guy the right of way, like the boats ahead of did.

Before getting to the Historic District of Wilmington, you past the industrial side of town, but then you get some better views.

We plan on staying here until Monday visiting with my sister and brother-in-law (Judy & Charlie).  We already have the new WiFi enhancer installed, and Judy's wash & fold has us in clean clothes.
