Carolina Beach

Although the wind continued to blow at a ridiculous level most of the day, we did survive.  None of the boats here at the marina ventured out and we only saw one sailboat and 2 trawlers pass by on the ICW today.  No long lines of snowbirds as has been the case these past few days.

We walked into town this morning for breakfast.  There was a small farmers market happening where we purchased a little fresh produce.  Then we walked out to survey the beach.  Wave action was heavy with supposedly 7 - 10 foot surf.  I guess that might be accurate.

Here's the sun setting tonight in Snow's Cut

This afternoon I did some sewing on a few Project Linus quilts (donated to preemies at the hospital).  Tom rode his new fold-up bike back into town for a few supplies.  A quiet day if you disregard the rocking and rolling of the boat.  The wind has now calmed down a bit but is still about 15-20k.  Tomorrow we head to South Carolina, probably Calabash inside the New River Inlet.  That is, we are heading there IF we can get off the dock.  Right now we are pretty tightly fitted between 2 other boats, the dock, and the wind and waves.  Surely it will be better in the morning.
