Carolina Beach, SC
We got started on our trip to the Chesapeake today after a minor health problem postponed our planned start Sunday.
We made a run to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast and got underway at 9:20 We had good traveling until we got to the Cape Fear River. We had been going about 6-7 mph when we suddenly slowed to 1. Yes, thats right, 1 mph. At that rate it would take all day to get to our anchorage. I left the channel and moved to the side of the river where we were out of the main current. That picked our speed up to about 5 mph. That helped a lot. We had estimated that we would make anchorage by about 5 but it was 5:55 when we were securely anchored. Made for a long day.
Tomorrow we are headed to Mile Hammock Bay for our next anchorage. There is a bridge that will have to open for us soon after we leave here so we will have to time our departure to his opening time.
If you would like to get this log by email there is a place at the bottom of the post to request that. They will make you jump through a hoop or two but once that is done you will get an email each morning that we write a log. I will also try to drop a not on Facebook about where we are.
