Georgetown, Myrtle Beach and Little River, S.C.

After leaving Charleston we stopped  at Georgetown overnight, then an overnight stop at a marina in Myrtle beach.  Not close enough to go to the beach, but a very nice stop.  The next stop took us to Little River S.C.  where we caught up with Dan & Biddi  on "Biddi and the Beast".  We planned on staying only 2 days, until we found out that the 29th annual Blue Crab Festival was that weekend.

The festival was fun, there was great music, food and vendors, we did our share of eating and drinking.








Along the way we saw some interesting sites, a tram system that crossed  the river to get golfers across,  a boat that was stuck in the sand during low tide, and the water changing from root beer color to green again. 

We have learned allot about the tides, currents and the ever present wind. The tides in Georgia & South Carolina can be as much as 9 feet.  The wind can start out at 5 -10 knots, and just as we are ready to dock they kick up to 15 - 20 knots. One good thing about the wind is it keeps the bugs away. There are these little bugs the size of gnats, and when they bite, it feels like razor sharp teeth.  And the current can be quite confused, one minute running with us, and the next it changes. The boat has held up well, although I am sure she will be happy once she is on a salt free diet again.

We have had so much fun and adventure on this trip, along with meeting some of the greatest and kindest people.  The big question everyone asks is, what is your fovorite place.  There are so many favorites, I don't think we will ever be able to answer that.
