North Myrtle Beach

8 June 2015    29.5 sm today

We left Osprey Marina a little before 800 am with another beautiful day. We had 1 bridge to open for us and an area called The Rock Pile to go through. The Rock pile is a narrow section several miles long that has a lot of big rocks just outside the channel. We went through at mid descending tide so most were visible. We started passing many large homes again lining the waterway. One interesting site we saw was a gondola that transported golfers from the parking lot across the waterway to the course on the other bank. Our friends Andy & Julie from Fruitcakes live in a condo complex with a private marina. Andy had secured us a free slip for 2 nights. Once in it I started looking at the depth and where the tide was and realized that at low tide I would be at least a foot into the mud. That wasn't going to work so we called another marina and would up back tracking about a mile to Lightkeeper's Marina. We got the last slip they had. Later we realized that our refrigerator temperature was up to 60 degrees. I troubleshot it but couldn't find anything wrong.
