June 12 — Weather change! A cool day.

Rain seemed to threaten for the entire journey to our next destination to the ill-named Cape Fear, NC area. As it turned out, everything was pretty calm except for the massive currents at the ill-named Lockwood FOLLY inlet….which seemed determined to sweep us out to the Atlantic. We prevailed and continued northward. It was kinda nice to wear long pants and a long sleeve tee-shirt!

Beautiful scenery. Beautiful homes. Some seemed to be taking their cues from Rainbow Row in Charleston. Some seemed to have their brightness gauges set a bit high….Orange?  Lime green? Neon yellow? Really?

This particular group of houses reminded me of “rainbow row” in Charleston. These happen to be along the ICW near Georgetown.
Not quite what the Charleston Preservation Board had in mind for colors.
Big!
Bigger!
Big, but….
Not the biggest….but quite a statement. Two cupolas!
Beautiful setting.
This house was one of my favorites — except they have to get that dock built!
I just know that whoever lives here has a lot of fun.
Chrome yellow house “stands out” even in the woods!

 

More geography changes. Deep banks of orange clay. Shoals of white sand. And the ICW route so near the ocean you could see the waves.

The color of geography change here.
Way in the distance….surf! That’s how close the ICW comes to the Atlantic Ocean in places.
More deep green trees and spring green grasses.

 

We were happy to get a spot on the head wall at Joyner Marina as the wind really pumped up as we entered the marina. The good news is that the wind foretells of rain….another lovely fresh water rinse for DotCalm (and no need for us to clean the boat today!!)
