Georgetown to Myrtle Beach

We left Georgetown around 9:30 on Saturday for our 50 or so mile trip to MB (should have left earlier but our bed sleeps so well we have a tough time getting up early - one of life's challenges). The ICW between G'town and MB may be some of the most beautiful stretches of the NC/SC ICW. Waters were calm when we departed from the harbor into the Waccamaw River. By 11:30 were were in the Cypress Swamp - very pretty -trees are fuller with Spanish moss hanging into the water. It is hard to describe so I will download some pictures. The first picture is on the Waccamaw River on one of the many islands - hopefully you can see the school "bus/boat" that must transport students from the islands to the school beside the general store. (may not be aware but you can click on each picture to enlarge)

The last picture is the Socastee Swing Bridge which we reached about 1:30. Most of the day we traveled with a couple of Yachts from G-town to MB and we traveled about 5 0r 6 miles per hour since the beautiful scenery (and the multiple no-wake zones) were many. We arrived at our marina at 4:15. John and Sue will be joining us on Sunday evening and we will plan our trip for the next few weeks - need to meet with Doug and Leslie aboard "Happy Clams" in the next few days in NC.
