It was better than... - It was better than expected thought we signed up for ferry ended up going to private Marina and 3 of us traveled to Masonboro Island on a small pontoon boat. The captain was competent and happy to show us some spots where we could photograph birds. It should be noted there was no restroom on the small boat.
