Spent the night at Barefoot Landing Marina, along the ICW at
Myrtle Beach. The "marina" is
really nothing more than a floating dock about 10' wide and about 300' long
that runs parallel to the waterway on the east side. The dock master was very helpful and even
drove us to the NAPA store for oil in the morning. Not much for amenities but right next to a
large shopping center with lots of restaurants etc. As we approached the dock, Ollie's friend
Chuck was waiting. He jumped aboard and
had the problem isolated in 20 minutes and repaired in about an hour. Then, the 5 of us went over to Ollie's house
for a fantastic pasta dinner (and, for me, shower, and laundry). Thanks Ann and
Ollie!! Phil and Dan and I came back to
the boat for the night. This morning, we
did boat work till around noon - changed the engine oil, cleaned, tidied up the
new VHF power wiring, ate breakfast, planned our trip for today and tomorrow. We only motored for 3 hours today. The
current was with us and we made 20 miles to the Ocean Isles Marina - a very
nice marina, primarily for small boats. They have inside storage for over 400
runabouts and docks for only about 20 larger boats. Very nice staff and
facilities. After an
"exhausting" day, all but Dan had fallen asleep by 8pm and we were
all in bed by 9:30.
