We had a long day planned today. Some nearly 60 miles and the Sunset Beach Pontoon bridge. The trip through Myrtle beach was just long and uneventful. We arrived at the Pontoon Bridge just after 12 noon and had to wait 50 minutes till 1 pm andit still opened 5 minutes late.
The shore and water really started looking like our home waters now. The radio chatter and weather info was all familiar now – getting close to home now.
We pushed long and hard today so we would have a short run into Wrightsville Beach tomorrow. We entered Pipeline Canal just before low tide – damn it was shallow – right around 6 foot for the most part. It took awhile to find a spot to anchor that would not have Temptation aground at low tide. It took awhile for the anchor to bite too. There is a boat ramp here and the boat traffic was annoying until dark. Looking back now I don’t think I’ll recommend this place in the future. Skipper Bob has some alternatives nearby here.
During the night we heard storms advancing on us but no direct hit – just a little rain. Good thing – I was leery of the holding here now.
It was moderately buggy here so it was another hot night in the berth.
