Southport Marina

Southport, North Carolina



Leaving North Myrtle Beach



Scenes along the way



The weather has cooled down making the 45 mile cruise enjoyable. When cruising on a Sunday we encountered a lot of week end boaters that don’t always think about what they are doing. I was glad to slip into port and get out of their way.

ICW going north



Southport Marina is part of a harbor that is very picturesque and is being used as background for a new TV series to be announced. We enjoyed fresh seafood for dinner before returning to the boat. While returning to our boats we stopped and talked to Bob & Kay Creech that live in a house overlooking the harbor. Bob gave a seminar addressing, cruising the ICW between Florida and Norfolk while we were in the Florida Keys. Their boat named C-LIFE, sits in the harbor directly across from their home. How nice would that be?





Tomorrow we will cruise to Carolina Beach a short distance away. It’s good to be on the move again!
