We grabbed a dock at Beaufort Docks, this so far has been our favorite stop. The marina is on the waterfront surrounded by restaurants and shops. The first night we picked up a great wood fired pizza from https://www.blacksheepbeaufort.com/ and had a quiet dinner on the boat! Took the courtesy car to CVS and Piggly Wiggly to pick up a few groceries.
On Thursday, we took a local tour boat to Bird Island. It was so beautiful to walk the beach pick up shells.
We had dinner at a great Mexican restaurant https://mezcalitogrill.com/menu/mezcalito-beaufort The portions and cocktails were huge and delicious!
Friday 10/25 we left and headed South. The plan was to stop and anchor at Mile Hammock Bay (mm 244.5) but when we arrived, it was just after noon, so we decided to push on. We ended up in Wrightsville Beach on anchor.
This leg of the trip was just beautiful.
Onslow beach bridge that is under construction and only opens at the top of the hour
Signs like this as we went by Camp Lejeune US marine base, luckily they were not practicing
A beautiful waterfront community
