The final 15 miles of the trip up the Wilmington River on Monday went smoothly once we establish a critical channel marker was missing. On the voyage we passed several dolphins and some incredible houses shaded by the massive Living Oaks draped in Spanish moss. We tied up at 6pm and customs and immigration were there and waiting for us and we were processed pretty quickly.
Three days later, the engine room is padded up for protection and the engine dismantling has begun. We will be here for nearly 8 weeks and will be out of the water for half of that time.
I have posted on the websitesome photos of the 2 marlin we caught. Look at reports from Day 1 and Day 6 of this trip.
