Fog, Wahoo & Dolphin (5-7-10)

Saturday, May 08, 2010

It was a challenging day but also a rewarding one. We left the Surf City ramp at 3:30am headed for the Gulf Stream in a dense fog. The fog came in patches as we made our way south in the ICW. As we approached Topsail Creek and the inlet, the fog became VERY Dense. In fact we couldn’t see more than 25 yards and we were better off without the light as it was just reflected back at us. Of course the NTI buoys are NOT lit, so we had to “feel” our way through the inlet as we could not find the buoys, it took over an hour to get out.
