Chipping our way to South Carolina

November 20, 2012 Tuesday 

The day was cloudy and cool but our spirits were bright and warm, it felt so good to shove off again.  Terry said it felt like "Chasseur" was growing a foundation under her after a week in Carolina Beach (he always says this when we stay anywhere more than three days).  It was a short transit to St. James Marina, just south of Southport, NC.  Crossing Cape Fear River was uneventful.  We passed the Army's Military Ocean Terminal on the west side of the river.  We timed it perfectly to be at the marina entrance at high tide (only 7 feet or less at low tide).
