We pulled up anchor and were on our way out of Mile Hammock anchorage at 6:30 am. We had to time our passage under the 64′ Topsail Island Bridge and the Surf City Bridge. The bridges are both several miles from any inlets or known tide tables making it difficult to time for low tide. Based on the distance from the closest tide table, I calculated that low tide at the 1st bridge would be approximately 3 hours behind the local tide table. We passed under the Topsail Bridge with little room to spare but had plenty of clearance under the higher Surf City bridge. Next we had the two Bascule bridges at Wrightsville beach to pass through and then the Seabreeze Bridge at Snows Cut before entering the Cape Fear River. After a days run of 53.7 nm, we anchored for the night at Tina’s Pocket in the middle of the Cape Fear River.
