We are in North Carolina

We left Fernandina Beach on 5/16 and went to Cumberland Island for a quick walk around. We did not see any wild horses, but the island is pretty. We then went to Jekylll Island for 2 days. I actually swam in the pool while doing the laundry. It is a beautiful resort marina. We had lunch at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel, very nice. On Tuesday, 5/18 we anchored in the Duplin River and on Wednesday arrived at Thunderbolt Marina, outside of Savannah. Thursday found us in Beaufort, SC in Factory Creek. We anchored in the middle of the creek and went ashore for Dairy Queen that night and breakfast the next morning. Friday, 5/21 we anchored in Steamboat Creek and Saturday we were finally in Charleston, SC. We spent the weekend, did some shopping and took a carriage ride. Monday 5/24 we only went to a marina across the harbor from Charleston called Isle of Palms because heavy wind and thunderstorms were predicted and Charleston harbor is not protected from the wind and waves. Tuesday we went to Georgetown, SC and then onto Barefoot Landing, near Myrtle Beach. Barefoot Landing is a big shopping area with a face dock . We had ice cream and dinner out and did some shopping, but a lot of the stores are closed. We are now in a marina called St. James Plantation. We had stayed here on our way down last fall. It is very nice and cheap. We are spending 2 days here as Barb needs a day of rest. We will move onto Wrightsville Beach tomorrow and catch up with our buddy boat. The weather has been good, hot as far as Barb is concerned, but nice. We have had some showers, mostly at night. A word of advice to anyone planning a trip down the ICW in the fall and back in the spring, make sure you have screens for your enclosure. the greenhead flies from Florida to North Carolina were fierce, they must have had nothing to do all winter but multiple. Hope everyone is well and happy and enjoying the spring.
