Some places we've been

Here are some photos of a couple of places we have been and things we have seen.

This is one of the red ICW day markers that indicate where the ICW is going. When going north in the ICW the red markers stay on the port(left) side of the boat. That is for the most part. There are some areas that are channels returning from sea where they are on the starboard (right) side. We need to stay on top of where we are all the time. Just outside the markers the depth can get very shallow. The red markers are triangles and the green markers are squares.


This particular red day marker is lighted and has an osprey nest on it.







Here are a couple of dolphins that were following the boat. We saw a lot of dolphins in the ocean. They also come up into the rivers and sounds.






This is the Whittaker Pointe Marina we are staying in at Oriental N.C. It is fairly new and the facilities are great.







Here is the Whittaker Pointe Marina club house. It has really nice bathrooms and showers. They also have a small laundry room, gas grills and a courtesy car.






This is the Charleston City Marina. It is on the Ashley River on the southwest side of Charleston. We stayed here a couple of nights. We were in a slip at the end near the bottom left of the photo.






This is the Bald Head Island Marina. It is located just inside the Cape Fear inlet. It is also a very nice marina. The island doesn't have a lot of services but it was very relaxing being there.
