CODA BACK IN THE THE USA 2025 (90).

CODA : Discovering North Carolina.  

10 April 2025 

Mile Hammock Anchorage, USMC Camp LeJeune, North Carolina    

We are anchored at a military training base.

Marc-  We followed the ICW coastal route today from Carolina Beach to Camp LeJeune.  The route is protected by barrier islands and watered by many inlets along the way. These same inlets also create shoal areas that require maintenance dredging to keep the route passable.  We encountered several dredges at work today.  Two drawbridges caused some delay but not much.  We saw dolphins and pelicans all over.  We are anchored with 5 powerboats and we've been traveling with 4 of them over the last few days.  The Marine's have a drawbridge for access to the barrier island that is being replaced.  The construction crew limits boat passage prior to 07:00, between 12:00 to 13:00, and then after 17:00. We have set our alarms for 06:00.
