We were up early and had a nice easy run to the Georgetown waterfront.. I put a lunch hook down just so we could go into town for a few hours. Conditions were mild and I didn’t set the anchor too hard -- poor holding here. We were on the streets of Georgetown before 10am. We walked about a bit, visited a fine book store and I bought a book – a cook book. Buck took off for a quick walking tour of the town and I went in quest for some gas for the dinghy and check on the boat, We met up around 10:45am and watched a little alligator work his way up a drain pipe. A little after 11am we found a restaurant and had a nice early lunch. It was a fine lunch but they wouldn’t let us leave. Their charge card processor was down and we had of wait for it to come up – a good 20+ minutes!! It was a rush visit but we still enjoyed the town.
We left the anchorage around 1:30pm and started up the Waccamaw River. There were some really large fish jumping way out of the water ahead of us. I tried to get some video of it but they stopped when I started the camera. It was a beautiful and comfortable ride up the river. We anchored just off the river in an OXBOW area just before you leave the river and enter the populated areas before Myrtle Beach. This anchorage was actually the best. It was pretty, comfortable, and bug FREE. That was really unexpected. We had a nice swim here too just before dinner.
We cooked dinner on the grill and relaxed in the cockpit till well after dark. Being bug free I tried to sleep in the cockpit but the cushion was just too uncomfortable for a long rest. I went below and sweltered in front of my partially defunct cabin fan – it would turn slowly for a while then stop Grrrrr. Overall it was a pleasant night in this little anchorage.
