We anchored in Wrightsville Beach Harbor on June 3, picked up a rental car on June 4, loaded our 4ft x 8ft dinghy with our “stuff” (laptops, clothes/toiletries, snacks/drinks, trash to throw out, propane tank to fill in MD…barely room for ourselves!), tied it up at a local pier, and drove to MD for my high school reunion. Had a wonderful time at the reunion, then drove back to the boat the next day. Of course, we took advantage of the opportunity to have a McDonald’s breakfast sandwich and other unnecessary culinary delights, knowing that the opportunity would not make itself available again for quite some time.

We departed Wrightsville Beach on June 10. While cruising along Alligator Bay near Camp Lejeune, we passed the infamous “Pink House”. It is located on its own peninsula, with its own lighthouse. It is noteworthy enough to be mentioned in one of the cruising guides.

Also that day, we were surprised to see a fake palm tree with the American flag erected in the water, obviously at low tide, given the exposed sand bar.

We tied up for the night at a small marina in Sneads Ferry, NC that was more of a boat ramp and fuel dock for the RVers camped there.
