Fishy Fishy Café
We finally got a full sunny day, what a welcomed event. Both of our days were uneventful. Stan had another long day on the water, but his
timing was perfect for the two bridges that he needed to have opened. He arrived
just at the appropriate time and cruised right through. His entertainment this
morning was watching a buck swim across the ICW. My first chore for the day was
doing laundry…a necessity of life wherever you are. After lunch I checked out
the docking available in Southport and then enjoyed looking through a few shops
and walking in the sand by the waterfront park. It was a very busy place on
such a beautiful day.
Southport is a quaint coastal seaport with tree lined
streets featuring some of the largest live oaks in the South. It was
established in the late 1700's and was originally called Smithville. The town
first grew as a fishing village and military town, but it has become a popular
summer resort because of the pleasant climate and healthful sea breezes.
Southport is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The town has
been observing Independence Day since 1795 and annually hosts the official
North Carolina 4th of July celebration.
We are docked at the Fishy Fishy Café's dock. Not a bad dock
to be at during the week, but I’m sure it gets very loud on the weekends. We
enjoyed one of the best dinners of the season on the deck overlooking the
water and our boat. I was finally able to get a few pictures today, so I will
keep the blog short and include lots of photos.
