Wrightsville Beach (Anchorage)

Saturday May 2, 2015
34 12 143 N
77 48 241 W

Much nicer morning, sunny and calm. No tide or weather pressure today so we did not drop the lines till about 8AM. Easy day, about 20 miles on the ICW, 10 miles up the Cape Fear River then another 20 or so on the ICW. It was even warm enough to sit up on the Fly Bridge.


Hate it when this happens. But it does teach you that one should not rely 100% on the Chart Plotter. 

We had a decent run with the tide until we hit the Cape Fear River and "battling" a 3 knot head current. We lost focus long enough for a monster ship to take us 100% by surprise.


Plenty of anchorage space here, we were settled by 3:30 PM. The weather seems to be laying down nicely, Tomorrow should be great!
Sunst, Wrightsville Beach anchorage
