It was quite foggy this morning, but luckily it soon cleared enough so that our visibility was at least one to two miles. We crossed the Cape Fear River and cruised by way of Snows Cut Canal to Carolina Beach. A number of dolphins were swimming along and Thressa was lucky to photograph them just at the right moment. Carolina Beach 
is a popular vacation area 
with a number of marinas.During the next 50 miles we passed Wrightsville Beach and Surf City. The last 10 miles were a bit more difficult in view of thick fog. With the help of our course plotter and radar, we made it to our destination - Swan Point Marina and Boatyard, close to the New River Inlet. The marina was a mess, it seems that it had closed down. There was no one around and the building that was the office and marine store was completely empty. There were some boats in the marina with "live aboards". We found a good place to tie up and had a good night's rest.
