Wrightsville Beach

We had planned to spend a couple days in Wrightsville Beach, but have now been here for five. The strong low pressure system which generated so many tornadoes also generated high winds. We have seen long periods of sustained winds 30 -35 with higher gusts. Our anchorage is well protected so the wave action is minimal. Bridges will not open in high winds so we are staying put until it quiets down a little. This is a great place to wait it out. The town provides a very nice floating dock that is just one block from the beach. The beach which is wide and flat stretches for miles. This picture which was taken from Ariel shows how narrow the strip of land is between our anchorage and the Atlantic. The hotels shown front the beach.
