At 7 am, we pulled away from Southport Marina to Mile Hammock Anchorage.    

It is a nice anchorage. It is wide and deep enough for a lot of boats. We got to watch the military training landing helicopters….the sound of freedom. We anchored by “Tidbit” whom we have seen a few times but have not met.  

At night, we kept hearing a thud sound. It sounded like a log hitting the boat. We checked several times with a flashlight (pitch black dark there) and didn’t see anything.  Oh well, we went to bed.
