Cape Fear River; Myrtle Beach, SC

We left Wrightsville Beach bright and early Sunday on a gorgeous day. This year we caught the Cape Fear River at flood tide (against us). Observant bloggers may remember the sleigh ride we had do the river last year (11+ kts with the tide). The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away....

We had planned on anchoring at a favorite place from last year (Calabash, NC) but there was no room at the inn. Ten other boats had beat us to it and there wasn't any deep water to drop anchor. So, we continued on and found a very nice marina in N. Myrtle Beach (Harbourgate Marina). They even had a web cam there so we call Carson and told him to log on so he could see us. Not sure he quite figured out the technology of the whole thing.
