This afternoon I tied up at Barefoot Landing, the long dock behind the shopping center in North Myrtle Beach SC. It was an easy run from Holden Beach NC, where I anchored last night.....today, lots of dealing with shoaling areas near inlets, but the weather was fine...and warming up just a bit. However, the forecast for tomorrow is heavy rain for a good part of the day, so I doubt I''ll be going anywhere (it''s OK, some rest, some cooking, and some time in the Waldenbooks store here and a secondhand book store just down the street. And, it''s forecast to blow like hell on Saturday, right up the Waccamaw River, with the current also on the nose.....I suspect it will be Sunday before I head out to Georgetown and Charleston.....we''ll see. Waiting for decent weather is part of the drill, especially at this time of year. And extra care when solo is essential......holiday greetings to all......
