South Carolina November 8th saw us anchored in Dutchman Creek (M310). As we travel along we enjoy viewing the seemingly never-ending row of huge homes lining the Outer Banks. They seem so isolated, strung side-by-side, mile upon mile, on their narrow strip of sand. Truly an ideal location in fair weather, but very frightening in foul. On November 9th we passed into South Carolina. Much to our delight we caught up to our friends that we met on the Erie Canal, Charlie & Christine McCullough, on Wingspread. We enjoyed their company at Barefoot Landing, near Myrtle Beach and travelled with them to spend the next day together as well in Georgetown. Here we were surprised to read the sign posted on the town dock prohibiting the feeding of alligators. No problem there. On the days we are unable to sail and must travel solely by power we put our hammock up on deck between the forestay and mast, where we take turns relaxing as we make our way along. It's a long ride - may as well enjoy it!
