Deltaville to Topsail Beach

Approximately 60 miles from Deltaville to Norfolk where the ICW starts at mile 0. Beaufort NC is at mile 200.Topsail Beach was named for the pirates who used to hide in the inlets (not the ICW!) behind the dunes, ready to pounce on victims.November 22nd: below freezing in Wilmington this morning - ice on the dock.
Storm - bound here for a couple of days - weather has not been kind - those #!@&! cold fronts coming down from Canada!
Saw our first pod of dophins and our first palm tree coming in here yesterday from Oriental.
At least the layover gave us the chance to get longer dock lines (the tides and mooring posts make them necessary) and replace the pressure water pump. The marina here has a wreck for a loaner car but it got us to the hardware store and Food Lion to stock up.
This Beaufort is pronounced "Bow Fort" The one in South Carolina is "Bew Fort."
