Woke up bright and early to hit the notorious Rock Pile just north of Myrtle Beach. As I have mentioned from earlier trips North, it is about a 3 mile section on the ICW lined with rocks...bad ones... tear into the bottom of your boat bad. Before entering this section, you issue a Securite on the VHF radio to let any oncoming vessels know you are headed that way. There is no room for passing. It turns out, we followed a huge barge through there. It was nice to have such a big guy running interference in front of us.
The day was slow going with lots of no wake zones and jet skis. We arrived at our destination of Bald Head on the Cape Fear River about 3PM. This was a new stop for us. It was very pretty and upscale. There are no cars allowed on the island. It is all golf carts which was a bit scary as people drive pretty fast through heavily wooded cart paths.
