We made it through the "rock pile"! It is a man made part of the icw that has rock shelves on either side and rocks piled up beyond that. So it is not a problem if you stay in the middle where there is plenty of water. We are now just North of North Myrtle Beach, S. C. We are in a very nice very large marina. Met some people who told a story about a guy who just last week went outside the channel and tore a hole in the bottom of his boat. Just amazing because really, all you had to do was stay in the middle. We heard another story about people on a sailboat who had a small dog who got to their destination and had no dog. (Our dog can't get off our deck without help.) We also heard that there is a small alligator living in this little bay with all the boats. We will be keeping a watch out for him. We haven't seen an alligator yet but people keep telling us they are around.
The water here is mostly fresh water which is amazing because we are close to an inlet from the ocean. Most of the icw in this area is fresh water. It is a very dark color maybe because of minerals (?)
It is a cool and sunny day here. Just perfect. It is suppose to get into the 90's by the end of the week. We expect to be at our destination, New Bern, N. C. by Friday. We will be there for 5 months. So everybody, come on down.
