Myrtle Beach, South Carolina!

Yesterday we let go of the morring ball at the usual time about 6:45. Our first transit was through Snows Cut. The current can be swift through here but had maybe a 1/2 knot current coming at us. We were remembering our first time through this cut.  I think we were a little more relaxed this time. When we came out of the cut and into the Cape Fear River we were pleasantly surprised to find calm water and the tide with us. We were going 7.8 knots most of the way. We arrived at Southport around 9:30 in the morning. We took a dock at South Harbor Village Marina. We have stayed here many times in the past. 

Larry worked and made water and I was able to do laundry. I met a live aboard cruiser at the laundry and he let us use his car to go get groceries. We had planned to get a taxi but this was even better. 

Later we enjoyed a great dinner at Joseph's, a restaurant on the Marina property. It's been several years since we dined here, it brought back memories. 

We got up this morning and pulled off the dock at 7:15. It was very humid especially after spending the night in air conditioning, not that I'm complaining. 

We saw several fishing boats wrecked on shore, not sure if this was due to some storm that came through. Some were at inlets and some were at docks. This one was in the ICW at Little River Inlet. 


We arrived at Barefoot Marina around 2:00 this afternoon. After we were docked and plugged into the electric and ran the air to cool down we took a walk over to Barefoot Landing and visited the shops. It was a hot walk over so we took Uber to come back. 

Tomorrow Georgetown South Carolina.
