Weather

Never thought I would complain about too much wind.  Coming out of Morehead City, and where did it get that name, we battled high winds and current. Who thought you could sail/motor-sail on the ICW?   Also had to watch the buoys, chartplotter and depth sounder at all times. Made one stop and then to Wrightsville Beach. Sat for an extra day to let rain and winds, 20s and 30s kt subside. Working our way down on the Cape Fear River , past Southport, with an overnight at St James Plantation Marina (Just thought the name sounded good) back on the ditch. We came into North Myrtle Beach yesterday. Decided to stay here for Thanksgiving.

Chartplotter:  green represents marshes

Good Deals??????

Would you keep your boat here?

Fixer up-er
The ICW got very pretty yesterday, with lots of scenery and a wider ditch. We are taking our time as most of the marinas in Charleston are full for the weekend.
