We made it back to Southport. We did lots of grocery shopping to completely reprovision our icebox. Left over laundry was taken care of and several boxes of goodies that we had shipped were unloaded. Maryanne discovered that her new heat diffuser worked well as a toaster on our gas stove. Kudos to Brittany of windtraveler.blogspot.com. She has one of the best and most useful blogs that we've seen.
Our wind generator now has a governor to protect it from burning up in high winds. It was a 20 minute job that took several hours. I had to hacksaw a large washer to fit the generator. After I finished I realized it covered up some screw holes. Jesse, one of the harbormasters at Deep Point, had a grinder in his and Rob's little workshop that made short work of the rest of the trim job. Rob Gandy, the marina harbormaster and Jesse were incredibly helpful during our entire stay. They give meaning to the concept of Southern hospitality. We were amused to find a boulevard named after Rob Gandy in Southport. Apparently, he was well loved as Southport's City Manager. While the comings and goings of the Bald Head ferry are a minor nuisance the Deep Point Marina is definitely a place that we would return to.
