In order to board the boat, everyone must walk through Anne Bonny's Bar and Grill

Floating on a a barge along the Riverwalk in downtown Wilmington, Anne Bonny's Bar and Grill has appetizers, hamburgers, sandwiches, and cocktails. It provides a casual, open-air water front atmosphere along the Cape Fear River. Anne Bonny was an Irish Pirate operating in the Caribbean in the 1700s, and one of the few female pirates in recorded history.

Below: After the passengers disembarked, the two RV Gypsies were first to board the vessel. So Karen Duquette stood in the middle of the upper deck and took photos facing forward and aft before the other passengers arrived. Lee Duquette was on the lower deck getting drinks.

Below; Then Karen Duquette photographed the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and a smaller, passing tour boat. Karen chose the seats at the back of the boat because they were spaced further apart than the seats shown above. However, the two RV Gypsies did not sit for long. Everyone was free to walk around all during the cruise.
