If you're going to Bald Head Island you can easily get to the Southport-Fort Fisher ferry as well. We initially traveled to that one first, thinking we were going to Bald Head. One of us said something about Bald Head and Cape Fear and the ticket taker told us we were going on the wrong ferry if that's where we wanted to go. The ferries are that close that mistakes are always made according to her.

Say "hello" to Cap't Gallager from Sandy and Stan. He does offer a stop onto the island even tho' it's frowned on so it sounds like you've hooked up with "our" tour guide.

Hope your trip(s) are uneventful and allow for good picture-taking. Looking forward to seeing your shots when you return.
