CAPE LOOKOUT, NC -> WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC -> BALD HEAD ISLAND


SHAKLEFORD BANKS
Shakleford banks at Cape Lookout is home to wild horses.  Historical research and genetics testing indicates that these wild horses descended from a core group of the old type of Spanish horses.



We then sailed overnight to Wrightsville Beach, NC. We biked 25 miles the next day to visit our sailing  buddies from last year.  Nancy & Rick "Angel Eyes" were in Wilmington, NC. It was such a nice reunion. We spent 2 months sailing the Bahamas with them last year sharing Mahi Mahi and lobsters. We will sail with them to Charleston next.

WRIGHTSVILLE SELLS BEER FROM QUEBEC. 
We left Wrightsville Beach and went down the ICW to Bald Head Island. You can't anchor there so we took a slip. It's well worth the stop. At this Island, there are no cars, just golf carts and bikes. We biked all around, watched the Bluefish tournament, walked the beach, and did a nature hike. I definitely recommend visiting this beautiful Island.

One weird thing about North Carolina is that there is NO happy hour. Basically, they aren't allowed to discount drinks. Oh well, we still had drinks at our Happy hour !
