Darn those pesky fisherman in Pipeline Canal. They were at it early this morning -- rocking our world just before sun up. I was glad to leave at 7:30am.
Today would be a long slog of 44nm to Barefoot Landing Marina. We had to cross 3 inlets. No problem at Lockwood Folly and Shalotte. At Little River we approached the crossing with Calabash Creek at 11:30am or just before low tide. I thought about anchoring in Calabash but it is a tricky entrance even in mid to high tide. We pushed on. I did find some skinny water at Red 2 on the ICW just passed Little River Inlet -- 7 feet.
All the bridges opened on requests -- little boat traffic. Went through the Rock Pile at about 2 hours after low tide and it still looked intimidating but not like at low tide.. Karen was somewhat impressed.
We had an easy docking at Barefoot Landing Marina. I have to say the staff here is the friendliest I found anywhere. Highly recommend them. It is $1.50 a foot but free electricity and a free shuttle to a very nice BiLow Grocery. We bought a bunch but still went out to dinner tonight at the Flying Fish. I had the Swordtail and Karen had Grouper. Dee-licious. This is the first night in the last 8 that we are not swinging at anchor. Should be great sleeping tonight.
