We transited the Waccamaw River today which is arguably one of the most beautiful parts of the Waterway. The water is black from the cypress trees and Spanish moss is hanging everywhere. We even saw an eagle surveying the scene from his high perch. The river goes "around" Myrtle Beach to the west (or actually to the north since Myrtle Beach faces south).
We had to stop at Wacca Wache Marina on the river to get a diver to check out our prop shaft. A few days ago we had snagged a shad net stretched across the ICW. The fishermen cut it loose but we think some of it is still wrapped around the shaft. Pam felt an abnormal vibration in the cockpit deck.
The photo clearly shows Pam's intuition was correct! The diver went under the boat at 6pm (dark) and the water was very black. He had a head light but it was still a scary thing.
Left in the morning with the net on deck for a souvenir. Continued down the Waccamaw towards Charleston, SC
