hard times on Craford Bay


LONDON arrived on Craford Bay several weeks ago.  The man on board told me he was doing an "sail only" delivery from somewhere up on Chesapeake Bay to South Carolina.  The schooner did not appear to be able sail out around Cape Hatteras, and I can't imagine how a vessel this size could sail down the ICW.  


 Just to the north are two buoys that mark a powerboat that sank several years ago.  To the west are the remnants of another powerboat that burned to the waterline about this time last year.  Craford Bay is a popular ICW anchorage in the spring and the fall.  It is getting too crowded to have a third wreck in the little bay.

We have our fingers crossed for the boat.

I think today's winds might be pretty rough on her....
