Myrtle Beach, SC Grande Dunes Marina

Today we traveled one of the most beautiful scenic sections of the ICW. When we traveled this section on the way down it was raining and cloudy and the windows on the enclosure kept fogging over. Today we were in for quite a treat something we missed on the trip down.

This morning we saw a ray jump out of the water and during the day we saw lots of turtles sunning themselves lined up on logs.

A few days ago I posted a picture of a nest on top of a mark on the ICW. Today we were able to figure out what kind of bird made the nest. We actually saw birds in several more nests. They are Osprey, birds common on the water way. We even passed a marina named after the Osprey.

Tonight we are in the Grande Dunes Marina. We decided to stop here, the current was against us most of the way. Coming down this was a tough area for current against us also. Hopefully tomorrow will prove to be better. It was a good stop, Larry washed the boat and I went shopping and did laundry. The marina has a courtesy van and will take you to the store for supplies or where else you would like to go during their open hours.

The picture is of a houseboat, there were actually three of them just floating in a little cove behind an island. They looked so peaceful just floating there.
