CT to FL Day 30
North Myrtle Beach, SC to McClellanville, SC
Well.... we had no issues with docking overnight at Barefoot Landing docks... no middle of the night wake up knock on the door... earlier I did notice a security patrol in a golf cart stop beside us and take a photo... but we slept peacefully all night and were back underway at 0700.
Weather forecast was for rain today but lucky we saw very little and not very heavy rain... cloudy and COLD all day barely reaching 40° mid afternoon... so generator ran all day for heat in the boat...
We saw a bit of boat traffic today... couple of boats being delivered and we had one trawler behind us most of the day.... they stopped and anchored just south of Georgetown in Mimic Creek... they had spent the night on the barefoot landing docks on the opposite end form where we were.... so I don't think it's an issue staying overnight there.
We arrived to our location for the night at Leeland Marina at 1545 and were secure with power at 1600...N33°04.981', W079°27.752’. We traveled today for 9.0 hours covering 66.8 nautical miles averaging 7.4 knots. Posted at 4:52 PM
CT to FL Day 28
Swansboro, NC to Carolina Beach, NC
Left from Swansboro at 0700... 4 bridges to contend with today... actually only two will require an opening... Onslow Beach Bridge and Wrightsville Beach Bridge. both have restricted opening times.
Tons of boat traffic today large and small... weekend and beautiful weather... a bit cold but bight and sunny... winds are not an issue in this stretch of the ICW.
We had no issues at eighter of the two bridges... arrived on time and had very little wait for the openings... which is very nice....
We arrived to our location for the night at the Carolina Beach State Park Marina at 1545 and were secure with power on at 1600...N34°03.016', W077°55.154’. We traveled today for 9.0 hours covering 58.7 nautical miles averaging 6.5 knots. Posted at 5:16 PM
