On the way north, we tried not to duplicate too many of the stops we made on the way down. This time around, we stopped at St. James marina in Southport. Then on to Bridge Tender marina in Wrightsville Beach where we met up with good friends Tony and Eve. Off to Swansboro at Dudley’s Marina (cheap at 75 cents a foot, but lots of wake action, Navy style piers and a rough but usable loaner car). Then in to Morehead City, where we stayed instead of Beaufort, NC. We were able to grab a spot at the Sanitary Fish restaurant dock, $25 plus cost of the meal. Headed north to Whitticar Creek marina in Oriental NC and River Forest marina in Bel; we stayed at both last time and would return to both again. We are now at a small marina behind a gas station and off a highway in the Alligator River, after a long days’ slog through the Alligator-Pungo canal. Off to Elizabeth City tomorrow.
