We had planned to spend the night at an anchorage right after the dividing line between N and S Carolina, if by 4pm we had made it to a pontoon bridge that opens on the hour. If we were lucky and made it by three, we could dock for free by large outlet mall... Well, we miscalculated, the bridge had a delayed opening at 3 which we could have made: as we were approaching we could see in the distance that it was opening. We had called the bridge tender but he was adamant and said we had to sit and wait for the next opening.
The anchorage we had thought of staying at was really shallow - as was most of the ICW - it's full moon and the tide was particularly low so it was hard going at times, but except for a quick bottom kiss by Sweet Tides we managed to scrape by.
So we took the next option which was staying at the Myrtle Beach Yatch Club.
Today it's sunny but freezing again. I have gone to the dirty laundry and recovered my polars. We are planning to anchor in the Minim Creek or the Shante River so that on Sunday we arrive in Isle of Palms really early and have more time with Bobbie and Tom who are coming to meet us!

The photos you are taking are fantastic. Keep it up. Also cold up here, in the 20s but lovely sunny sky. Not much excitement to tell you about except that I am happy to be in a lovely, warm home.

At least it's sunny today! so there is hope that it will get better. it's not easy to upload photos with s...y wifi. The blackberry tries poor thing but it's slooooooooooww
Your reports are so fun and vivid that one can almost feel the cold, the fun and the 'sustitos' that sometimes you confront. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.
