Morehead City to Hempstead’s Harbor Village Marina

Today:          64 miles           10.3 hours           ICW ST Mile: 267.3
Total:       426.2 miles         68.05 hours.


 

     Left at 7:15 with an assist from Bill. They will leave once they refuel. They are heading to Swa Point Marina on New River (just south of Mile Hammock.) Harbor Village Marina is about 19 miles and 3 hours longer.) Winds were light, while temps started in low 60’s and ended in the high 70’s. Had to give tranquilizers to Bailey. She didn’t eat or drink all day.

THE shrimper!

     On Bogue Sound I encountered a small shrimper’s fishing vessel trawling in channel with his rigging extended. He didn’t answer radio and barely moved from skinny channel. I had to stop and let him pass, not knowing how far his nets dragged.

     Harbor Village Marina is a wonderful marina. It is a narrow entry from Red 94 on the ICW into a large, protected basin surrounded by beautiful homes and condos. A series of floating docks with close to 200 boats of varying sizes. Staff stays until all transients are docked then it’s a golf car ride around the basin to the office, ships store and fuel and then back. We were the last boat in at about 5:20.
