Anchorage Sloop Point, TopSail/Surf City, SC

The humidity has finally broken--it's nice to be on anchor again.

I have no idea what this was about.

Who says there is no culture along the ICW?

Are we going to make it under this bridge? We had about six inches to spare!

Looks like Daytona with all the cars on the sand. I wonder how many they lose to high tide.

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

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?

BoatPix.com taking a picture of us going up ICW--turn about is fair play

I think the raised dock is about 1/4 mile. Sure don't want to forget anything!
