Beaufort to Wrightsville Beach two days

We left Beaufort Saturday morning.  This part of the trip, the ICW is closer to the ocean.  We are just inside the outer banks.  The land has been mostly developed, I have included some pictures of some of the houses.  I could not resist taking the shot of the giraffe. I would have to say much of the money that was made over the last ten years have gone into real estate in North Carolina!  The ICW cuts through Camp Lejeune, it is very beautiful, lots of birds and marshes, plus we didn't get shot at! Today we were challenged at all the bridge openings.  Timing is very important especially when the current is pushing you toward the bridge before it is ready to open.  One of the boats ahead of us ran aground waiting for the bridge opening.

We are anchored in Wrightsville beach.  This evening we went into town with a young couple that we had meet in Beaufort, they took the outside route, we took the inside route.  Our quest was to find Guinness on tap.  We did succeed!

    I can't believe you found Guinness on tap in NC. Will wonders ever cease? The sign at Camp Lejeune looks pretty ominous. Hopefully the tide is against you if you need to stop! Further south the ICW looks pretty twisty and turny. I couldn't follow it through some of the marshes, etc.
    Thanks for the pix.

    The first picture is of Pelicans on a sandbar. It isn't too clear exactly what you are looking at. They are everywhere. The pink house is on it's own island and has a grassed top gazebo. I can hear Jimmy Buffett and can see myself sitting out there with my margarita enjoying the breezes.
