Georgetown, SC

 

A little foggy this morning when we left

But still beautiful pictures

Grandeur on the ICW 

This part of the canal was a little "hairy!"

It's called the, "Rockpile!"

Waccamaw River, SC

Gary's coming

Construction work being done on one of the

bridges we need to go under

What a beautiful day!

Still cutting grass here!

I'm with Captain Bob....between him and the

speed at which our boat can run....

I'm always "Resuming Safe Speed!"

Small part of river and this boat decides to pass us,

he didn't know the big boy was comin' around

the bend...made for lots of rockin' & rollin'

for us!

See the serpent?  See all the turtles???

Me enjoying the ride!

Bob "counting" turtles....he stopped at 176 turtles 

knowing next year he would have to break his record!

 

Coming into Georgetown, SC

Inside where we dropped anchor for night

Jayne & I

This is where a couple of buildings burned down

recently...The towns people want to make sure everyone

knows that, "they are still alive and thriving...come on down!!"

Jayne & I sitting on Main St.

Isn't he the cutest Jack!

He's saying "That's right...look at me!!"

 

The clerk is holding another Jack that was under

the counter.  He started poking his little head out when

he heard the other one getting so much attention!

Paper mill spewing stuff on the left; the Steel Mill

to the right.  Us anchored off to the right with Gary

and Jayne

Bob & Gary enjoying life!

Georgetown Dock

Our anchorage spot for the night

Bob showing me a trick with a dime....see him

holding it in his right hand...or left depending on how

you're looking at him!

Now he's doing his trick!

Now how did he make a dime into 2 pennies!!!

Gary & Jayne toasting to a beautiful sunset and day!!

 

Another great day on the water.  It turned out to be so beautiful.  I actually had to put on suntan lotion!  Yeah for me!!  Ever since the sun has come out my cold is gone.  It's like the sun "baked me well!"  It was nice being able to get off the boat and to walk into town on such a beautiful day.  All the locals are always so friendly.  Our anchorage spot isn't as quiet as most of our past ones have been, with the Steel Mill right behind us, but like Gary said "it's only for one night" and not only that....the mill actually sounds like the ocean at night time with a train SCREEEECHING once in a while!  :0)
