Georgetown and Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Georgetown on Memorial Day
























We're slowly moving north through South Carolina. We have had 2 short days compared to what we had when we started this trip and it has been nice. The weather has been warm and there hasn't been much wind. The ride to Myrtle Beach was just my kind of trip. The water was calm, there was some traffic of boats and we didn't have any major decisions to make while we were moving. The river is one of the most scenic areas we will go through on the whole trip. Our boat is to the right in the picture above.



The river is brown and everyone says to wait to clean the bottom of the boat until you reach the Chesapeake Bay.


We are staying at the Grand Dunes Marina in Myrtle Beach. It is a hotel, marina and golf course facility. This is an exceptional marina-they gave us a complimentary bottle of wine when we arrived! Several times during the trip we have stayed in the same marina with another couple from Burnt Store Marina in Punta Gorda. They are here also so we had supper in the hotel this evening together and the service and food was excellent.



We're off to Southport on Wednesday and I've heard they have some shopping close by the marina! I have to get some shopping in with this trip but have yet to find a drive-thru to get my Happy Meal!!
