Jan 16, 2012 Wrightfield Beach NC to Calabash Creek SC.

start:  mile 283 / 0900 / 467.32 /genset@60 /
Lot of no wake zones  kept our speed down but we made it. MLK day
pics along the way, sunk boat at dock and 100's of opulent homes.  The docks here stretch for at least 100 yds from the house across the marsh and into the ICW.


slowed down at the creek but backed off and anchored ok.
Launched the dingy and took Molly to town.. not much there.
the dinghy is pretty bad.  anyone want a boss boat with mariner 15hp ?
got back to boat and decided to put bridle on anchor chain.
while unkinking the chain i kneeled on the anchor up.
sucked my hand into windlass, ouch, couldn't pull it out, reversed windless , whew.
up anchor off to seacoast med center for 32 stiches.
Stayed at fuel dock and good night at the hurricane bar.  Talk about local color!
 end: mile 342 / 1800 / 474 / genset 63
Long night for Jonny
