Port: Myrtle Beach (33.51N/78.38W)
Weather: The winds were out of the NE at about 5-10. Seas were 1-2 feet. The temperatures were mid-50’s with partially cloudy skies turning to sunshine! We hope this keeps up.
My finger is doing a lot better. Still swollen and a little ugly. It will be fine in no time.
Up early this morning, we pulled up the anchor covered in…. well that was the debate last night. Did we think it was sand or mud? Mom and I bet. She said sand; I said mud. Well… it was the blackest, gooiest mud! I win! We left Carolina Beach and ventured through Snow Cut (a literal cut in the land to connect us to Cape Fear River). We moseyed on down the line all day. We saw plenty more houses, several other boats (one sailor going the wrong way; said something about skiing; he’s nuts). All in all, I’d say it was uneventful and that was just grand with me. At about 1330 we crossed the NC and SC state line!!!!!! That makes 3 states down and only 3 more to get through. Whew! We hailed one bridge today; a pontoon. It literally was a floating pontoon that floated/swung away from the road so that we could pass through. It was pretty neat. Of course, there was construction of a huge ugly bridge going in, so I doubt we will see that neat one again. We pulled into Myrtle Beach Yacht Club for the night and are hurriedly taking showers and doing laundry before we head out again in the morning. Pray we keep getting this sunshine! Looks like rain for our entire visit to Charleston and we don’t like that idea.
Love you all!
Good weather and happy sailing!
