Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Our greatest thanks was that the fog cleared
Tuesday morning enough, that even with rain we could see sufficiently to
continue the voyage to one of our favorite areas on the entire ICW. The
Waccamaw River
has some development like around Myrtle Beach but some
beautifully remote sections as well and we returned to one of our favorite
marinas, Osprey. While they have discontinued the grill restaurant service,
complimentary pastries and coffee are provided and they give out what is by far
the best welcome bag anywhere with shampoo, laundry soap, beer caddie etc and
at only $1 /ft – one of the best prices yet for dock space.
Wednesday’s 30 miles to Georgetown
was again most scenic even in the continuing rain and easy to navigate as the
river widens. Once docked we enjoyed a riverfront late lunch at the 5 Rivers
Tavern, and purchased several bags of the very special Carolina Rice at the
Rice museum as part of our traveling gourmet Christmas gifts to everyone this
year, and bought a painting of a pelican to make the boat a bit more homey. The
sun finally made an appearance for the first time in at least 5 days,
brightening both ours and the cats spirits.
Today it’s dinner at the Rice Paddy
restaurant and a day of cable at the dock football. Go Lions!
