ICW Mile Marker 315 – Today started off with a cold morning and frost on the boat, so time to move farther south. So we were on the move again. First thing was to make it past where the 3 boats that got stuck on shoal at “99A”. With our local knowledge Bill learned at…

ICW Mile Marker 267 – On the move again, after spending fantastic time in Swansboro hanging with friends and Cousins Burnetskys. I had to perform a trapeze trick on Casper’s Marina dock every time getting on and off the boat since their dock was built too low & tide was too high. So one time,…

ICW Mile 104 – Lifted anchor right after sunrise. A surreal 22 mile slow trip down the very narrow Alligator/Pungo Canal. I think I saw an alligator cross in front of us (or could have just been a log). We were glad for no barges coming the other way. We teased about turning around and…

ICW Mile 61 – Happy 7th Birthday to Norah yesterday. We miss you. We had a very restful night and out of Broad Creek early to cross the Ablemarble Sound today. It can be a rough 14 mile crossing, but again we were blessed with calm waters. We crossed it and passed thru the Aligator…
