The Pelican Champion

The Pelican Awards Ceremony

From our Carolina Beach base in Wilmington we took the Fort Fisher car ferry to Southport, a lovely little seaside town. On the way we couldn't help noticing that Peter the Pelican had retained the number 1 position in the local Pelican Championship. We had a stroll along the beach at Oak Island before heading back to base for a few hours on the beach. It's taken a few days for Vanessa to feel brave enough to venture into the sea, not because its too cold but the waves were too big. As I looked over my shoulder today, there she was, body surfing and complaining that the waves weren't big enough! Saturday evening was spent in the local American sports bar, The Dive.
