| Baldy Lighthouse 1817 |
Today we cruised 50 miles to Bald Head Island. It's location is a two-mile diversion off the ICW . Our guide book says it best and I quote "Its remoteness (accessible only by water), its 14 miles of wide, unspoiled beaches and magnificent dunes, and its oak, pine and palm forests - juxtaposed against meandering creeks through inland seas of waving marsh grass, monitored by flocks of white ibis - conspire to make the pristine beauty of this natural barrier island stand out. There is a place for man here, too, in a low-density, revisionist version of Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard." These people have big wallets and great taste - Charlie commented that the island's grocery store had better wine than most good liquor stores. No cars are allowed, only bicycles & golf carts.

We spent the afternoon biking the entire island, walking the beach and climbing the historic "Baldy" Lighthouse.
What a day!
