Early start

Caught the first 8 a.m. bridge opening whereby the first one only opened on the hour. Timing is everything. Subsequent bridges were either fixed (65 ft clearance) or opened at the half hour. Everyone is very courteous and helpful today. But then it's sunny and Saturday!
Bascule style bridges and a couple of the swing format:

A double bascule-

Love the geometric shapes from bridge and mast-

Swing style at North Landing-

The channel is a bit narrow for sailboats and tugs with barges but we all make it through-


And then there's Minnie who actually has her eyes catnap closed in this odd position. She's actually sleeping or has faked us out for 10 minutes.

We're surrounded by NC tall sea grass as far as we can see.
Onward to Coinjock NC for the night.
Bigger water coming soon ( current location in lower right corner)
