ICW - Southport, North Carolina

We had a short, but a bit challenging ride to Southport, North Carolina on Friday, November 14th.  Southport Marina and the town of Southport is a great, friendly place to visit.  The town, along with the Mayor and City Council gave us a welcome reception party with appetizers, wine, cheese, and hot drinks.  We stayed here for two days and our Sail Rally fleet had a group dinner at a local restaurant with some excellent food!  On Saturday, some of the shops in town were having an Open House and served food and drinks just for stopping in their store.  This was a full service marina that also sold beer and wine in their ship’s store!
