Swansboro Hammock bay Wrightsville Beach

The trip from Beaufort to Swansboro was uneventful. We sailed towards the bridge trying to arrive in time for the bridge timing. 

Swansboro was a small residential town. We stayed at the city docks. Their computers were not working and it seems we were not charged for the docks. 

A crazy local

Dave, a fan of Wally bought pizza for everyone. I went back to the boat and went to bed early. The next morning departure was challenging due to the current We went to an an anchorage at Hammock bay. A pleasant anchors. 

The next morning, we departed for a 33-mile ride to Wrightsville beach for two nights. Winds were strong and tides were 4 feet making anchoring in a crowded anchorage.

I was going to refuel, but winds were blowing me off the dock. 

After two attempts, I gave up and anchors at another location nearby. I dinghy into town, but not much happening after dark. 

The next day we got together for lunch at Oceanic and I walked on the beach back to my dinghy. The others took the dinghy directly to Oceanic.

On my way back, I walked o a large beach and flew the drone.
