(Charles): Well today was one of those days. We left the dock at 06:30 am with the full moon still up and dawn only a hint on the Eastern horizon. We motored for 10.5 hours -- my least favorite thing to do, but through some interesting parts of North and South Carolina. The current reversals as you get past the inlets are remarkable.
We passed two northbound tugs boats with astonishing trains of equipment ( mostly for dredging). Sue has pictures.
But the best and most magical part of the day was Wacca Wache Marina ( Murrels Inlet, SC). We arrived at 16:45 and were helped onto the dock by Lance who insisted on coiling our dock lines in perfect coils. Hannah Banana is the marina's restaurant and they were having their second annual promotion event raising money for a breast cancer awareness and cure with raffles and a decorated bra contest. Sue has pictures. We ate outside and listened to "Duke" and his young guitar accompanist playing oldies- the sort I like. It was a magical evening and the shrimp and oysters were out of this world. It is amazing how, just by chance, you can come a really great place with no prior planning involved. We will see what tomorrow brings.
