During the past two days we have divided our time between boat chores, laundry—washing that long underwear!—walking through town, going out for dinner and coffees, and relaxation. We have enjoyed our first visit to Southport and have appreciated the wind protection we have in this marina. We are looking at weather windows to move further up the coast of NC, then eventually around Cape Hatteras and into the Chesapeake. We are considering leaving here mid-day tomorrow and heading toward Beaufort, motoring into light wind for the first few hours. We will make the final call tomorrow.
My mother loved camellias which were in full bloom in Southport. (This photo and the next.)
After stopping at Southport Coffee Co. this morning we sat for a while by the water. It was too blustery to stay long.
This gnarled live oak tree, known as the Indian Trail Tree, is said to be 800 years old.

You deserve some stress free down time!
