Under
partly cloudy skies and temps in the low 60s we cast off our lines at 7:30 a.m.
for a 55 mile journey north to Georgetown, South Carolina. “Reflection” arrived at Harborwalk Marina at
1:15 p.m., and 30 minutes later Pat was already doing laundry in their
absolutely immaculate laundry room and shower facility (the nicest that we have
seen in all our journeys up and down the ICW). She finished up around 4 p.m.,
and by that time “Reflection” had been joined by a number of other boats at the
dock. George, in the meantime, had
walked down to the shrimp boat docks down the street, purchased some fresh
shrimp and boiled them up as an appetizer for us before our delicious Chicken
Marsala and salad dinner. Yes, we know, cruising is really tough aboard our
boat!

This
morning we decided to change things up a bit and to have breakfast at the
“Thomas Café” close by the marina on Front Street in historic Georgetown. This restaurant only serves breakfast and
lunch, and the food is not only great, but also has generous portions at
reasonable prices. By 8:55 a.m. we then
cast off our lines and started out on a 31 mile trip up the Waccamaw River to
Osprey Marina in Myrtle Beach. On
the water we saw many of the boats that were docked at the marina last night,
as well as others we had encountered previously along the way. The wind was blowing strongly out of the
north on our bow, which made it quite cool on the upper deck, so we ran the
boat early on from the lower helm, but eventually went back up on top as things
warmed up a bit, and arrived at Osprey Marina at 11:50 a.m. “Reflection” then took on almost 256 gallons
of fuel, and remained at this dock overnight.
