Wrightville Beach NC to Little River SC


Yesterday we got an early start. The weather forecast called for rain and thunder storms but that did not deter us, we forged onward.  The weather forecast was spot on!  Notice the costume change and the demeanor of the captain!  Below is a shot of a ship we shared the Cape Fear River with.  Then I took the picture of the fishing boat anchored just off the ICW.  We went through two torrential rain storms and ended with T-storm as we were coming to the marina at Sunset Beach, NC.



This morning we set out for Little River, SC to visit Vicky and David Baty, Matt's inlaws.  Our first bridge was a pontoon bridge, the span floats. It is being replaced with the bridge that is in the background.  A short time later we entered South Carolina.  They didn't have a sign (Entering South Carolina) so Candy created one.  The weather was perfect, sunny and warm, I have been waiting for this kind of weather.  The next picture was to show every house has Palm trees.





Today's leg was short, only about 20 miles, so we got to the marina just after 1:00 PM.  After we got the boat tied up we headed to Poo's for lunch and a Land Shark!  Life is good!

    Been following your progress. We made the trip last year. The Beaufort swing bridge broke during out trip from Charleston to Beaufort. We ended up staying at Dataw marina which is about 16 miles from Beaufort for a night. Nice marina but not much there. Traveled to Lady's Island Marina up the creek port side to wait out the fix. Grocery Store is on this side about a mile from the bridge although the municipal marina less protected is in the historic section.
