To the uninitiated this means that vast numbers of yachts and other pleasure boats will soon be passing and stopping at Southport, on their way to Florida waters. From Camden, N. J., and Baltimore, Md., there also comes message., to the Civic Club secretary about the approaching tide of boats. The.... Camden contact is J. H. Pearce, brother of Mrs. E. H. Cranmer, of Southport. All sources agree that there will be 30 or more percent more boats than in 1937. This estimate apparently indicates that about 600 boats will pass and make stops at Southport between now and the 25th of December. There was 443 in 1937.

They loaf along and arrive at their destination in three to six or seven weeks after starting out. The stop at Southport often means the sale of great quantities of oil, gas and other supplies. Not the least of all they mean the renewing of many pleasing and friendly contacts. Many of the yachtsmen go through year after year, southward in the fall and returning in the spring.
