South Carolina - Boats, boats and more boats

Our travels today took us past mile after mile of ridiculously gigantic houses and matching boats.  It seems that every man, woman and child in the Carolinas has at least a "Carolina Skiff" to run-about in.  We are amazed at the amount of "traffic" that is transitting the narrow Intercoastal waterway.  Everyone is bombing every which way and amongst it all today we even encountered 2 purists who felt they should have their sails up to add to the excitement.  Crazy!
We anchored on a breezy March 20th afternoon in the shallow water of Calabash Creek M341.7 ICW at Little River Inlet with 5' tide.  Just before we did so we glimpsed cruise ships ahead on the waterway.  It should be interesting to see just how many boats can squeeze into this small channel.
While travelling along the ICW today we saw 2 different Trump flags.  One said, "Trump 2020 - No More Bullshit" and the other read, "Trump 2020 - Keep America Great".
Welcome to South Carolina!
We're shocked to see the number of boats that are washed up at the side of the canal.  In our small anchorage there are no less than 2 on shore.  (note the sailboat in the trees photo .... it still has the sailcover on!).  We've also noticed extensive property damage and construction going on.
