We left Southport around 7 a.m. with slack tide and began our trek up the Cape Fear River. We only met one large barge and tug and traveled past the large Ammunition Terminal. Cape Fear was kind with flat seas and a current going with us. The winds were forecast to be 20+ so we decided to have a short day to Topsail Beach area and stayed at a small marina, Harbor Village. It is amazing that 17 years ago when we brought our sailboat down the intercoastal, we are retracing our route staying at the same exact marinas as then. Only, the marinas are more modern with much better docks and facilities. We enjoyed a quite night at the dock in this protected harbor while the wind blew all night!
