KOKOMO II completed the "Great Loop" over three summers from May 2007 to November 2009. The cruising plan for 2010 is from Stuart, Florida, up the Intercoastal Waterway to the Chesapeake, down the Delaware and around to NYC and up the Hudson to Lake Champlain, the Richelieu to Montreal, then west on the St Lawrence River to the 1000 Islands and Kingston, then across Lake Ontario to Oswego, the Erie Canal, down the Hudson to NYC and back to Stuart. kokomox2@yahoo.com

May 21, Southport, NC
Southport is a classic American small town. One main street parallel to the water crosses another main street going to the water and that's about it. Nice protected marina (under construction, partially open) and walked 5 minutes to town for a nice dinner with good food and low prices. Southport is located about 1/2 mile from the Cape Fear Inlet, just up the Cape Fear River, and must get an awful hard blow during a Hurricane. Most of the land seems pretty low and exposed. There are a few dozen old homes here, but not that many as the town seems to have a population of less than 1000. Several shrimp boats make this their home port.
