| Provision Company Restaurant |
We had a lovely dinner at the Provision Company Restaurant last night. The portions were reasonable and the fare was not all fried. We both had grilled yellow fin tuna sandwiches. we did go back in the evening for chicken wings. It was not a very restful night as we bounced at the dock when boats went by. It seemed to go on all night.

We did go walking around the waterfront board walks and after dinner we went to explore the town. Lots of historic homes with nice verandas. There were many antique and specialty shops but everything was closed at that hour. Not that we ever buy anything since we have no room. Southport is a very quaint little town.

We are now anchored in Sloop Creek near surf city. We were going to go to an other restaurant dock in Surf City but they end up being more expensive than a marina. We have not anchored in a while and we don't need anything from the store so it is an ideal time to anchor. The nights are only going down in the 60s so the weather is good. We are between the main land and the barrier island that protects the ICW from the ocean. There are huge homes built on the island.
We again travelled through populated areas with huge homes, long docks but not that many folks have boats. We see gated communities with docks including lifts to keep the boat elevated out of the water but these are empty, no boats.

We are making good progress, we are 265 miles from Norfolk Virginia which is the end of the ICW. Hopefully this weather holds until we reach home. The days are in the upper 70s and the nights in the low 60s, perfect travelling weather.
