Social distancing at G65A, north of New River. That sand bar is encroaching into the ICW channel! |
G65A must to be in deep water! Only 7 MLLW through there (on this side of the buoy) |
Beautiful docks, as always |
Doesn't everyone have this setup? |

The scourge of the Canadian geese reaches even this far south! |
The docks are very nice and well protected |

They have nine moorings, they were all in use by 4:00 pm |
They must expect high water now and then |
Remember that the yellow icon takes precedent over the color or shape of the buoy. This one was on the Cape Fear River where "red right returning" takes precedent over the ICW. |

I think North Carolina is behind in boat traffic, not much here |
Not exactly and encouraging name (II no less...) |
Also not encouraging... |

Every home is landscaped nicely |
We liked the flower bed out front |
None of the houses show any side of wear - they all look fresh |

The restaurant is closed due to the virus |
Nice houses in the area - but look at the next photo! |
Nestled in among all the nice looking houses was this thing... Nice or not? |

You had to watch out for downed trees on the Waccamaw River north of Georgetown |
The marina personnel were in full dress for the coronavirus - masks and gloves with a window for signing you in |
Not everyone took the No Wake signs seriously with "Make More Wake Please" |

Lots of shrimp boats in Georgetown - unfortunately, all the fish markets are closed on a Sunday |
Harborwalk Marina has very nice docks, diesel was only $1.80/gallon!! |

Hoolie's favorite part of the trip - going ashore |
BoatUS came by later and the captain got the boat off and immediately took off |
There were two other sailboats in the anchorage, lots of room for more |

All of these boats don't get their feet wet while stored |
Another view of the marina with the high bridge in the distance |

This guy hitched a ride on one of my finders at Windmill Harbour. I returned hin to his home before leaving |
Don't ask me the name of the flower, Ann knows - but it's pretty |
Wine on the back of the boat at 5:00, perfect! |

Hidden Harbour is a gated community behind its own lock |
The South Carolina Yacht Club is a beautiful facility, best to be enjoyed inside but it's only take out for the present |
Here we are, right in front of the Yacht Club |

One more wine visit kby Ann Mullett |
Looks like a nice sturdy piling to tie off to in a storm |
Here's the same piling at low tide - Oops! |

The two Anns having a relaxing wine party |
After five hours of washing the top deck, getting rid of the ICW mustache, doing a pump out, taking on water, storing excess gear, with Ann cleaning the cabin - we are now ready to go. |

The Trump parade of boats passed by |
That's the mast in the water. Note the mask stub left on the boat |

The ICW is just off our starboard side, lots of traffic but they all showdown nicely for the bridge and us |
Love these Hinckley picnic boats, the 40 ft model goes for $1.4 million |

The Hinckley yard is full of boats like this, very beautiful, good lines. |
Nice docks |

I'm still fascinated by the live oaks, huge trees with long horizontal limbs |
The marina is more of a camp than a marina but it suits us fine |

Parked at Fernandina - Somewhere to dock a ship no longer needed, I guess |
Fernandina looked very busy! |
A nice end to the evening that's us in the distance to the left. |
