Today we made it to Myrtle Beach-Lightkeepers Marina ( $1 a foot and only $5 for electric) after another long day and a short stay at Georgetown SC. It was a fabulous morning actually using the jib sailing down a forested pathway with osprey (sea eagles) everywhere.There were lots of huge nests and many had mother and baby birds in them.The chirp of the babies was so enjoyable and there was very little traffic on the waterway.
Yesterday we were plagued by biting flies in the morning but today only a couple but they were mutant megabig flies.We also saw our first alligator in this stretch.It is hard to describe the beauty of the Waccamaw River-miles of trees full of Spanish moss,jumping fish,mocha water that you can see reflections in and the osprey.I spent time at the bow just loving it all.In the afternoon we approached Myrtle Beach and by the time we reached the swing bridge the bridge operator warned us to keep hydrated as it was 100 degrees.It seemed warm but after docking it was crazy hot on land.

97 degrees in the cockpit at Sandusky Harbor yesterday. Love that A/C in the boat!

95 degrees in Deltaville today. Mike, if you haven't been to Ocracoke and Maneo, it is something you shouldn't miss. Sue and I just loved the history of Roanoke Island. We probably should've stayed longer.

Mike, I second Jack's comment. You really should check out Ocracoke and Manteo, N.C. We have vacationed there several times. Pirate Cove marina couldn't be nicer.
