Myrtle Beach, SC Milestones

The ship that pushed us out of the channel
and pushed Cutter Loose aground
 Another beautiful day on the ICW - sunny, warm, with clear skies and interesting scenery. There were beautiful homes (many, many for sale) dilapidated docks, winding turns, and ocean inlets, some navigable, some not.  Some exciting moments were two floating casinos and a barge passing us northbound. It felt like these huge vessels took up all of the waterway. We docked at Barefoot Landing Marina, adjacent to an enormous shopping center  The best part of the day was dinner ashore with friends - see the happy photo below!

Milestones:
     500 miles since leaving Rock Hall, MD
     Mile Marker 353, halfway from Norfolk to St. Mary's,GA, our Thanksgiving destination
     Crossed into South Carolina
     Thursday will be our 20th day on the water
