We left Bucksport this morning at 0900 with a full load of Bucksport sausage... short day planned to Barefoot Landing Marina in North Myrtle Beach, SC. I have some work to catch up on and need a good WiFi connection and Susan loves it here... :)

A lot of boat traffic moving north today... was 45° last night but suppose to be 88° today. Sail boats, power boats, trawlers, small runabouts... everyone was out on the water. Can't blame them it's a gorgeous day.

We got held up at the Socastee Bridge shortly after leaving Bucksport... sat and waited abut 15 minutes for an opening... trawler ahead of us and a couple of sailboats behind us. Good thing was we had current in our favor the entire day pushing at 7.5 to 8.0 knots.

We kept hearing on the VHF a boat names ENTICER from Newport, RI... everyone was complimenting them as they passed the boats behind us... When it passed we saw why... 1935 wood motor yacht with teak, teak and more teak... not sure what make it was but it was beautiful.





We arrived at Barefoot Landing Marina at 1200 and were secure at the dock power on at 1215. Our location for the night N33°48.076', W078°44.734'. We traveled today for 3 hours and 30 minutes covering 20.9 nautical miles averaging 6.0 knots. Those waits at bridges sure kill your average speed... :)
