A fun filled day in the ditch with Seeker V

Dave Martin

Left our protected anchorage early, headed for Little River Inlet. Passed by a Bob Perry fans place in Myrtle who got a video of Seeker headed north. We had plans to go outside to Cape Fear early AM tomorrow. Made insanely good speed for the 40 miles to the inlet where we wanted to anchor at a favorite spot, Bird Island. We found the anchorage a mess of wind against tide, and thought screw it we’re so early let’s keep going. First turn out of the inlet I cut it a little close, but on an old track we had. Seeker promptly slowed to a stop in the mud. A call to TowBoat had a guy there in 20 minutes. From grounding to back on our way was only 30 minutes. The first time using them, since the only other time we’ve been stuck in 5 years we got towed off a shoal by @cody. Two more hours plugging away against the current to Shallotte Inlet and the hook is down, cold Busch Light in hand. We still might make Carolina Beach tomorrow after all. Fun fact: That average speed includes our time spent on the ground 😂
