We left the anchorage north of Myrtle Beach at high tide so we were able to ride the falling tide (and current) the entire 55 mile trip to Georgetown, SC. We average 8.5 kts which is really flying in a Krogen!

Our favorite part of the ICW is the Waccamaw River which curves through Cypress forests and is virtually uninhabited on the shoreline. As you know, 'Waccamaw' means "hit on head with mallet".

Today was a sunny, warm day and most of the time we were the only boat in sight. Entire logs were covered with large turtles sunning themselves.
In keeping with our mission of stopping at towns we have missed previously (Wrightsville Beach and Swansboro nonwithstanding), we stopped at Georgetown for the first time. We plan on remaining here tomorrow morning to see more of it when the stores are open.
