Left Southportand joined a parade of other vessels. The way remains quite straight and positively bristles with docks. Many seabirds the herons stand on dockposts like cormorants. Odd but still pretty. They are spectacular as they fly over the marshes. Pelicans everywhere and Turkey vultures circling and riding the air currents. This was a slow ride. narrow channel, lots of shoaling and the first bridge only opens on the hour. this bridge is a pontoon bridge. The road actually floats on pontoons and the bridge operator uses an underwater cable to float the bridge over to the side to let people by.
After that straight down the ditch with a couple more bridges. We pulled over literally at a place called barefoot landing. Almost dark and no where else to go. The name sounds great but Barefoot landing is a few highrises and a gigantic shopping mall, really hundreds of stores. If you can resist them the ocean beach is just about a mile away. It looks like Miami Beach! Really high rises probably 30 floors or more. Busy place !We will be on our way tomorrow hope to get to Charleston early in the week. If we don't get internet access before Thursday Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Happy Turkey Day to you guys too. I'm sure I'll speak with you but wanted to pass it along anyway. First snow (kind of) this morning in Boston, which means snowboarding ahead for me. Then I can come get a tan with you guys and head back to the mountains looking great!
