Friday 4/13 Up and off the dock at 8:00. It's a little warmer today, 65 degrees and
sunny. We got held up at the
Wrightsville Beach Bridge; they open on the 1/2 hour and the clearance was too
close to chance of our air draft - better safe than sorry.

| More beautiful scenery |

| This is all one house, including the cream colored portion on the left hand side. It was huge! |

| More large homes along the waterway |
We arrived at Harbor Village Marina at 2:30.
We have never been so well prepared by any dockmaster on our trip so far.
We received 3 text messages: 1) an arial view
of the marina channel entry 2) a drone video of the marina approach 3) 6 lines
of written instructions detailing side to 'drop fenders and line', dock
location and when to contact the dockmaster - this guy has his act
together.
Thank you Mike.

Tim set off on the bike and Alice / Millie set off on
foot to do some exploring.
A neighbor, Curt, across the basin (whose house we had been checking out on realtor.com) came by to ask about
OBSERVER and our adventure.
He needed a
little encouragement to follow in our path and we did our best to offer
assurance.
