Trawlers Galore

I love the weather after a big system runs through. Blue skies and crisp air.

We left Spooner's at 7:30am and had a nice run down the ICW to Mile Hammock bay -- a short run of 34 miles. We entered Mile Hammock and we were the first boats to arrive.. Ahh the pickings were great.

I kinda took a nap after awhile and when I woke up 2 trawlers and a sailboat had arrived. Then more POURED in. When it was all over we had 17 boats in here tonight. Kinda close but no weather or big wind expected tonight so should be fine.. For those that know -- the intrepid DYAD of "Big Dumb Boat" came in at just sundown.

We had sundowners with Jim and Barb tonight and it was great fun commenting on how these new arrivals anchored and where they chose to anchor. Karen gave a few the look of "are you kidding me!!".

While others made questionable choice in where to anchor -- Dyad picked a great spot for the last boat in.

Trawlers Galore -- man I have never see so many trawlers underway in one day. We must have been passed by 20 today. All the high dollar mega trawlers went onto Wrightsville Beach just the cheapo wanna be sail boaters came into Mile Hammock bay.

No military maneuvers here tonight so pretty quiet so far.

Tomorrow an early exit and a tense passage around the New River Inlet and then on to Wrightsville Beach. We will stay there probably until Monday then run -- the anxious for me -- Cape Fear River to South Port.
