Southport Marina
High winds kept us in port
today, getting off the dock and navigating the Cape Fear River just wouldn’t
have been fun or safe today. We’re in no big hurry so we spent the day doing a
few boat projects and of course a little shopping. This is our second time in
Southport. It's a cute little town full of old homes, history and
beautiful large oak trees. The town has been used as the backdrop in many TV
shows, such as Dawson's Creek and Matlock and a lot of movies including I Know What You Did Last Summer, Summer Catch, Domestic Disturbance, Crimes
of the Heart, A Walk to Remember
and Safe Haven. North Carolina is the
#3 filmmaking state, following only California and New York. It has 30 sound
stages and seven major studio complexes located in nearby Wilmington. I’ll have
to pay more attention the next time I watch a movie to see if I recognize anything.
We spent the evening
visiting with Jim and Betsy on Smiles
and playing with their little dog Sailor. They’ve spent a lot of time in the
Bahamas and shared some of their knowledge with us…we may have to make our way
down there one day.
