Homes on the Inetercoastal Waterway

This is what the condos on the Intercoastal Waterway looks like.





A nice gray color it was also very large. Most of the homes I noticed have the white stairs going down. Some of them were on stilts also.











This house was huge with a nice pale yellow and white stairs going down.

Here is the same house at a different angle.












This house and dock was very interesting it was a pinkish purple in color.
















This house was neat with it's own gazebo and boat lift. Here is a close up of the same home.




















This is a weird home on the Intercoastal Waterway.

Traveling down the intercoastal


















As we travel down the intercoastal there are some really nice homes.




Here is a cool very pink house. Note the parrot and anchor on the side of the house. Ross says they and boats and Parrot heads. They even have their own light house.








Here is another picture of the house.































Seagull following us thinking he will get a free handout.













They love to follow the bow of the boat and race along.

Mile Hammock Bay Anchorage/Camp LeJune

Here I am with my new cool rain gear. Hope it clears up soon!


Here is the sign that is warning you about the artilliary. It was a little far for my camera to pick it up.









Here is an artillerary site where they practiced there shooting at Camp LeJune very interesting. When the red light flashes you can't go through the intercoastal or your boat maybe the next target luckily for us we just the aftermath of what they do there and were not the actual target.



Here is a boat that was passing us on the intercoastal waterway.











Here is one of the bridges opening for us very low clearance, they call it a swing bridge.




When they dredge the Intercoast Waterway they throw the dirt off to the side which they call "The Spoil" here is a lone tree that grew up on it. It was cool looking.















We have a visitor on our overnight "Wine Down".
