Southport to Wrightsville Beach NC

 St. James Plantation Marina just south of Southport NC very nice private gated community Tiki bar, restaurant, very well stocked store for the galley.  Very Friendly slip owners we had 2 people offer to take us into town for shopping.  One man gave us a 2 hour guided tour of the area he took us into Southport, Bald Hill Island and all around the Plantation.  A very nice day,  finished off with cocktail on the boat.
 Snows Cut.

 A nice day at the Beach.
 Wrightville Beach Marina,  Just a short bike ride to shopping and West Marine.  Nice restaurant's all around.  Lots of boat traffic but very little wakes.
We had to pass this dredging operation in transit to somewhere in the Beaufort NC area.  Nice to see the equipment being used in the area.  However they traveled many miles over areas that needed dredging.
