I got up early and Sailor and I went to the shore in the dinghy and got back quickly. Dora and I had the dinghy loaded topside and we were underway by 0725. It was a cool, calm and sunny day. Except for the Cape Fear River, most of the trip was through land cuts. Depths stayed consistently 16-17 feet. There were an incredible number of very large homes along almost the entire route. Many of them appeared to be second homes.
Of course we arrived at the only bridge that had to open for us, 45 minutes early, so we had to idle the last couple of miles to avoid having to maneuver at the bridge for a long time.
We docked at 1645 at Crickett Cove Marina (mile marker 345) near Little River, South Carolina. They put us on a face dock parallel with the ICW so we were rocked by wakes from boats that didn’t slow down. It was a nice marina with very clean showers .We paid $1.50 per foot plus $5.00 for electric service. Dora gave Sailor a bath while I tried , with no luck, to download navigation charts using Coastal Explorer and posted two days of our blog. We had pork roast for dinner.
