Making our way to Georgia

We left Masonboro on Sat. 11/14 and at a very nice marina called St. James Plantation. Again it is a marina in a condo, single family house development. This one had 4 golf courses and 3 fitness centers. It was a little past Southport, NC. We only went a short distance because we wanted to make sure the engine was ok. It is, but now we think the prop needs to be adjusted, which Dave will do when we get to Florida hopefully in warm and clear water. we had no trouble with the Cape Fear river, only saw one freighter and the current and wind were together so we made good time and it was a flat ride. On Sunday 11/15 we arrived in Barefoot Landing, SC. We met a man on the dock who was living and working on his boat and we all went to dinner. The ride from Barefoot Landing to Georgetown was interesting. There are miles and miles of condo and huge homes and small homes with docks and then nothing but trees and grass. We made it through the area called the Rock Pile with little trouble. The water was very high due to high tides and all the rain. It was a little strange to see rocks on the side rather than grass and trees. The ICW was actually cut through this rock or fossiliferous limestone(from the waterway guide info). We stayed in Georgetown for 2 days to celebrate Dave's birthday with a dinner out. I enjoyed Georgetown because I could walk to town from the marina. We are now anchored in Price Creek about 16 miles north of Charleston. It is a creek that goes to the ocean and we are anchored in the middle with grass(marsh grass) on either side, there are no trees, so I am sure it is hot in the summer. It is supposed to be dog friendly, however the beach says no dogs on one side and the other side is a bird sancutary, but it is deserted so we took Packet anyway. tomorrow we will leave for another anchorage past Charleston on our way to Georgia. We may end up at St. Mary's, GA for Thanksgiving depending on the weather and if we stop in Beaufort. It is warm today, sunny, short sleeve and short weather finally. Happy Thanksgiving to all. The next time I write we will be in Florida, yeh!!
