Yes, the plan is to stay Saturday night at Southport marina.Tomfoolery wrote:Just to be clear, you're spending Friday night at the Southport Marina docks, then sailing up the river on Saturday? About 26 miles or so?
That's what I saw also. However if you get up and leave early enough, 6-8 am,fishheadbarandgrill wrote:Oops... Flood on Saturday which means we can sail on Saturday... and probably motor on Sunday back to Southport.
we may be able to sail a lot of the way back is what I am hoping on.

I also found a neat restaurant in Wilmington within walking distance that should be perfect for our group for Saturday night. Meals look to be in the $20 range. Will post update soon.

you are right I meant we will stay at Southport Marina Friday night.Tomfoolery wrote:I have to beg off. Sunday May 8 is Mothers' Day, and with the admiral's mother, her sister, and her all in the same town, there's no way she's going away.
Sorry. Maybe next year.
(Just kidding)It is. But I'd better bring all my clothes, as it would be ugly when I got back, so better to not bother coming back.SENCMac26x wrote:I would have thought having the mother in law in town would be the perfect reason to GO.Tomfoolery wrote:I have to beg off.

Maybe you could bring them all with you and we all could help entertain the bunch.Tomfoolery wrote:I have to beg off. Sunday May 8 is Mothers' Day, and with the admiral's mother, her sister, and her all in the same town, there's no way she's going away.

Hope to see you next year and good luck with the gardening. 
And I'll be expecting a float plan for your upcoming Erie Canal trip. However I don't think we will be up nights waiting for you like you did with us.fishheadbarandgrill wrote:I'll be bringing my appetite!
