We’re up before daybreak again. This could turn into a habit. We want to catch the last bit of incoming tide and ride the current up the Waccamaw River to Myrtle Beach. We find plenty of water, depth wise, in the Esterville-Minim cut. We catch a good boost when we enter Winyah Bay and head toward Georgetown.
As we pass Georgetown,
cruisers who have overnighted there are heading for the mouth of the Waccamaw.
This river is probably some of the most enjoyable part of our entire journey.
Being it is Memorial Day, there is lots of boats full of fishermen, jet skis
and people out joy riding.
We make good time and
decide to pass by the oxbow we anchored in on the trip south. Instead we headed
for that crown jewel of rip-off outlet stores, Barefoot Landing. It appears Donna needs a shopping fix. We
arrive in mid-afternoon in just enough time for Donna to have a little shopping
time and for me to do a little catch-up work around the boat.
