We have done two 11 hour days and are now settled in at Myrtle Beach. We did this so as to avoid going through the Rock Pile north of Myrtle Beach before the Labor Day wknd with all the crazy boat traffic. They were not easy days, either. We had bridges to make that only opened once an hour, we ran aground twice, almost T Boned a fool with no clue sitting in front of the Wrightsville Bridge, and successfully avoided a huge thunderstorm that popped up. As we came down the Cape Fear River yesterday, we had 4 knots of current pushing us.....wheeeee! The engine was set to go at 7 and we were doing 11 kts!
We left Southport, NC at 7 this morning and are happily settled in at Myrtle Beach for the next 2 days. We are on a Face Dock with a great view.
