So we are at Bald Head Island in North Carolina, just inside the Cape Fear inlet and are going to stay a THIRD day, because we love it so much!  What a great place.  A planned resort on an island that has no cars.  You can only get here by boat - personal watercraft, or the ferry that comes over from Southport many times a day.  A twenty minute ride for $11.50.

Dockage (with electricity) is cheaper than a mooring on Nantucket.  The island is about 3.5 miles long and OH the beaches!  A couple great restaurants, 18 holes of golf, a fabulous food market, some sweet shops and the turtle conservancy (a topic dear to Sharon's heart).

And You Thought MY Rosemary was Big!

Our previous stop was at Topsail Sound where we anchored in this wonderfully quiet spot where we could actually hear the surf on the other side of the houses.  Of course, we saw dolphins on our way out of the anchorage.

We don't have a lot of photos for that day because we had instrument problems and Sharon had to hand steer while Greg did the fix that took awhile, so it was hard to pick up a camera and shoot something.  Here are a couple though.

We also ran into friends from our old marina in Wickford, RI.  They just pulled in this afternoon and it was great to see them and hear about their travels.

More after we are done enjoying Bald Head Island.
