Thursday, April 27 - Supply, NC

Thursday, April 27

Osprey Marina provided bagels and English muffins for breakfast, in addition to a goody bag with a bottle of pepper jelly.  Nice touches.

Our GPS was showing Myrtle Beach, but you can tell from these swing bridge pictures that we weren't downtown by any means!



This Clarion Hotel played a part in our Great Loop adventure!  Danny and I stayed here 26 years while attending a surprise birthday for our dear friend from Farm Bureau days, Benjie Rhoad.  I was intrigued by the boats traveling the intracoastal and kept wishing I could be on one of them.  And now I am!


Just some of the homes along this stretch.



More unusual boats. 


 Danny is not fond of pink houses.  We have seen many on our trip, but this one takes the pink prize.  The boat and vehicle were even pink! 


New design for a pontoon boat, and a not-so-new shrimp boat. 



We finally saw some "normal" houses in Supply, NC, then we were back to the big ones!




Doesn't this look like a great place to play? 



We stopped for the night at South Harbor Marina in Southport, NC.  This Coast Guard boat pulled in just as we did.  It was a buoy tender, which means it takes care of the buoys that mark the channels.  We appreciate their work. 


I love this picture of Danny walking back to the boat after checking us in. 



And Ells' Island at the dock, with the beautiful marshes beyond.
