The Pilot

It’s a Good Friday! The Pilot is now at the office! Papers are being distributed in racks around the area this a.m. and will go in the mail today. Thanks for your patience. #thepilotishere

We feel like screaming too. The printing press where our newspaper prints each week is down so The Pilot will in all likelihood not make it to the post offices in time to be delivered Thurs. For that, we apologize and thank you in advance for your patience. Morgan Harper - Editor

The pictures and video that we took from our float in the @NC4thofjulyfestival parade are being uploaded and are ready for you to see! Check them out in the Photo and Video Gallery on The State Port Pilot website: stateportpilot.com/photo_video/ #stateportpilot #nc4thofjulyfestival

The Pilot webcam overlooks the Southport waterfront, and we'd like to see if we can use it to share the 4th of July fireworks! Allow us a little grace if it doesn't work out perfectly! We're going to give it a shot! Check out our webcam at 9pm on the 4th: ow.ly/jipe50JMMbS
