Here we sit in our slips at Barefoot Marina. This marina was directly across the AICW from Barefoot Landing which is a tourist mecca with lots of shops, restaurants and entertainment.
The marina was large and very nice.
A shot back at the marina as we started up stream.
This interesting structure is not a flying saucer but in fact a radio tower for aviation.
After several miles we had to have this swing bridge open for our passage.
We have had some mechanical issues over the past few weeks but nothing compared to this bad day.
Passed by this marina that had a very tall storage facility. Don't think I would rest comfortably with my boat this high.
We went by several inlets from the ocean that created this nice beaches. This being Sunday there were a lot of boaters out for the day.
A shot of the Atlantic Ocean through one of the inlets. These places had some interesting currents.
Ricki's new pet is growing. He has moved into his third shell since joining our trip over a month ago. Don't know what is wrong with her since she is talking about having his first shell bronzed!
The evening meal in Southport was a short walk from the marina. 
When we were walking to the restaurant we passed another small dock and I noticed the name of another looper boat belongs to the the harbor host at Southport. When we left the restaurant we spotted Bob Creech sitting on his porch across from his boat and spent some time talking with him and his wife Kay. Bob gave a seminar in Marathon on what to expect traveling up the coast with tips that we have used on our trip. This photo is off his porch looking out over the dock. Another place we could live!
Tomorrow we will move on to the Carolina Beach area which is only about 20 miles.
Our position tonight is N 33 55.046 W 78 01.662
