Swansboro

I am anchored here in Swansboro with an internet connection that is helping me monitor a storm cell headed this way and packing wind. I went for a swim yesterday in Wrightsville Beach and saw that the hull was covered in heavy barnacles. This morning early I pulled “Spark” onto a sandbar at what was supposed to be low tide. The tide dropped another foot so I had a couple of hours to scrap the bottom. I still opened four bridges and made it here before dark.
