Marina recommendations in North Carolina

He says the winters are typically mild, but they do have some days when it drops below freezing. And quite a few nights. :-) Rates certainly sound reasonable compared to the NE and FL, sounds like a plan. I'd want to give the marina and specific slip assignment a good on site inspection before making a commitment. They get some ferocious winter gales along the coast that can be just as damaging as hurricanes if the marina is exposed to open water of any size. I've been checking a few marinas out on the web. Plan is to make a list of potentials, then take a week and drive down there to check them out. What I've been doing is getting the address of potential marinas, then plugging it into Windows Live Local to determine where they are. Looks like Cape Fear Marina is well inland, up a river from the ocean inlet and right in downtown Wilmington. If you haven't tried it, Windows Live Local is pretty cool. Some areas of the country have "birdseye" views that are close enough to recognize people. http://local.live.com/default.aspx?c...le=h&lvl=9&v=1 Hope that link fit ok. RCE |
