St James Plantation Marina - Dinner with the McKays

Southport Marina is coming along but there's no docking in this area

The McKays were kind to lend us the use of their car for completing our provisioning. We had left out a bunch of stuff when we provisioned at Homer Smith using their free car. Today we filled in the holes and we should be okay until we reach Titusville. 

On the other hand, to the west, there are slips being used and more open in the distance

I made a stop at Southport Marina to see how they were coming along. They are still putting in new docks but they are taking in transients. There seemed to be a lot of empty slips, some were roped off but others were open, call ahead for details. 

What better way to spend the evening than conversation with friends over cheese and wine!

At 5:00 we headed over to the McKays for dinner. Their house overlooks the ICW and they have a dock for a small boat, too small for Fleetwing! We had cheese and wine on their upper porch which was delightful. Dinner and dessert followed but the best part was in catching up since the interruption by  COVID problems, my - how the world has changed in the past two years. 

Monday morning we head for Osprey Marina and through Lockwoods Folly and Shallotte.
