Georgetown to Myrtle Beach

Bailey loving the warmth
My favorite old tree
     It was another long day. We left Georgetown by 7:30 in the hope of catching the flood tide. Kathy and Mike were already gone. We were about a half hour too early, so we fought the current for the first few hours.  If you have to have somewhere to slowly watch the scenery, the Waccamaw River doesn't disappoint:  Knobby-kneed Cyprus trees, floating water lilies, sun bathing turtles, ospreys nesting as well as fishing, a golden eagle gliding through the trees in the marshes;  windy, forested river bends, and vegetation that finds a way to survive on fallen trees and old trees that are hollow, but still has a few green branches.
Last attempt at fishing
before we leave SC
     There is a lot of home construction in southern Myrtle Beach along the ICW. Barefoot Landing has had a lot of new things added, especially eateries. Lots of people were out and practicing social distancing. Others we out enjoying being out on the water and celebrating Mother's Day.
     When we pulled into Myrtle Beach Yacht Club, SV HAPPY TRAILS was already docked by the fuel dock.
