We’re slowly plodding along the ICW heading south. As I write this post, we’re anchored in the town of Wrightsville Beach, NC.
The night before, we anchored in Mile Hammock bay. Technically, it’s in Camp LeJeune, so we couldn’t go to shore. And, like Norfolk, it was a constant stream of helicopters.
About an hour after we anchored, a thunderstorm came through. I saw 35 knot winds and we swung around a lot, but the anchor held. It’s always nice to get a free boat wash.
The ICW cuts through a live fire range at the Camp. When they practice, they shut the ICW down. Fortunately, they were taking the day off when we went through.
Along the way, you can see the damage from the storms. Sunken boats and broken docks litter the shores. I’m not sure how they get cleaned up. It appears many have been rotting away for years. They’re warnings along the way to pay attention and be careful.
