Mike and Yonetta's Great Loop Adventure: Barefoot Landing to Sloop Point NC

Since leaving Barefoot landing on Sunday morning (fun time) we have been putting on the miles these last two days. We are now in North Carolina. When I checked the Captain's Log we had put on over 2,300 miles already. We have seen several interesting sights along the way. We traveled through the Cape Fear River, Past an Army Military Ocean Terminal, Past Carolina Beach, numerous bridges of all sizes, and we plan on anchoring out tonight at mile 263.8 at Sloop Point if the Skipper Bob book is correct on the anchorage information. We are not seeing as many birds or dolphins at this point. The intercoastal waterway needs to really be followed at this point because of all the shoaling in this area. We have seen several dredging operations. Waters sometimes are not more that 8-10 feet where we travel. Beautiful homes seem to pop up every so often and then there are miles of open waters and trees. We must take time here to thank the two special guys back home who are holding down the homefront for us. We know they are giving up there free time for us and we REALLY APPRECIATE them.
