Southport to georgetown

[davidpm]

I'm thinking of moving a boat from Southport NC to Georgetown SC.

The boat draws 7'. I've heard that the icw is a little thin through Myrtle beach so an outside run is being considered.

Assuming a good bit of weather it looks like only a full day trip, 80 miles or so so I figure we leave in the late AM or early PM and go all nite and get in in the am the next morning. If we go faster than expected we can just wait an hour or so for light.

Any worries with this plan?
This is a new boat for me so while I expect it to be ship shape will boat US do their thing if the engine craps out etc.

Both out and in are good inlets. With a prudent look at the weather, I think you can expect the best. Take care and joy, Aythya crew

Go in at Wynham Bay against the tide can make for slow going. Also, follow the bouys very closely at Georgetown. It can get real skinny, real fast around there. Particularly if you're heading towards the bridge.
