Pelicans perching on Pilings

We chose Carolina Beach for our stop today and conditions for anchoring there didn’t sound too attractive so we phoned a new facility listed in the Skipper Bob guide, called Federal Point Yacht Club which also had attractive rates. It turned out that is wasn’t really a yacht club, but a condo marina where, not all of the slips have been purchased. Someone who has control of 6 slips, rents them to transient boaters. While the location wasn’t handy to any shore side things, it was a nice floating T-dock with power and maybe the best rest room and shower facilities we have ever found on the water. Apparently a flock of the local ducks liked it as well, and after dark, 15 or 20 of them gathered on the dock next to our boat to settle in for the night. All in all it was a fine stop and very convenient for getting underway again, in the morning.
