More Good Words for Wilmington City/Public Docks, on the Cape Fear River
Wilmington, NC, on the Cape Fear River off the AICW, is a longtime popular side trip for many Waterway cruisers. The City Docks are located along the easterly banks of the Cape Fear River, in downtown Wilmington, just west of the high-rise Hilton hotel.
We were in Wilmington for a few days, but would have gladly stayed longer. Water and power available, but no fuel or other services. (Told you can use Hilton facilities but not comfortable with `sneaking’ around.) Location can’t be beat for browsing, shopping and dining. Highly recommend the Front Street Brewery for excellent food. Directly across from the BB North Carolina. Watch out for floating debris and ensure you check your stern for trees (in my case 3) fouling the running gear.
