Bald Head Island, SC


They only allow electric golf carts on the island--we shared the rental of a golf cart with Full Circle. It was quite pleasant to motor around the island--no motor noises!








The shoals from this end of the island extend out into the Atlantic some twenty miles


















One of the many beaches




Some of the sand dunes around the island








Old Baldie Light House




Our Marina




Ferry just leaving Bald Head Island with a retired fireman--leaving after his last day of work. Firetrucks turned out of the event.


Pontoon Bridge only opens on the hour and 1/2 hour. We didn't have to wait long.

Barefoot Landing Marina, N. Myrtle Beach, SC

We spent a few days at Barefoot Landing--we enjoyed a live show, One, at the Alabama Theather.
The temperature was so hot and humid that we didn't feel like moving.
We celebrated Tim's birthday at Greg Norman's Restaurant



The scenery has changed from the low country and abandoned rice fields to tree lined rivers



Osprey took over channel marker--is it red or green?
