We departed Morehead City this morning with winds gusting to over 30kts. It was a pretty rough start to the day and the ICW was very choppy and unrelenting. The wind was pushing us all over the place and we needed to be careful as we ran down Core Sound towards Swansboro. The wind was very strong almost all day, but we did well to make as many miles as we did today.
Myrtle Beach was a disaster. There were tons and tons of small boats, jet skis and people on the waterway. By the time you got up on plane, you had to back it back down for another boat. We did the best we could, but by the end of the day we were burned out. We pulled into Georgetown, SC at 6:30 tonight. We got the boat fueled and washed and it was time for us to head out for a cheeseburger and beer.
We are not too sure about the weather tomorrow, so we could end up inside or outside, but in either case we are going to try and get down to Savannah tomorrow. The boat is running great after having covered 860 miles since leaving NY on Monday. Here are some pictures from the last few days. Note we saw the new Sea Ray L65 on the ICW on Wednesday.
