Blog update 7 to 13 Nov

8th Nov, travelled from Carolina Beach, via "Snows Cut" down the "Cape Fear river"
Made it to Myrtle Beach, had great rate($1.25 ft), water, and electricity.
Great day travelling, some very shallow areas!!, and some very ignorant power
boaters that go by and leave a very large wake!!!$$$####@@&&%%.
Well I guess there are ignorant persons all over.
9th Nov, left docks and headed towards George Town, had a great day,
sunny and almost warm, had to wear a jacket on the upper deck.
Today some guy in a high speed power boat named "Aqua man" gave quite
a wake to a lot of other boaters, not us, we never saw him. Man did
the others yell on the VHF, they even called the coast guard and DNR.
Anyway we went past George town, and made it the mile marker 415.5,
anchored on the east side of Minim Creek. We are the only boat here,
but there are several boats in the western part of the creek.
Several small boats coming and going checking the local crab traps.
It was a beautiful sunset. I hope that the night is warm
10 Nov, travelled to Beaufort SC, and stayed at "Down Town Marina.
Made some repairs to Windlass(4 new through deck bolts)
and the foredeck,injected epoxy in about 15 different area.
to beef up the foredeck.
11 Nov stayed put at Marina, finished off the foredeck work
had to go to West Marine for more epoxy.
12 Nov travelled from Beaufort to well pass Savannah GA(SM 573), at statue mile marker 611.
on the bear river. 1630 hrs, anchored in "Birthday Creek". Today we went 75 SM.
We re now 101 SM to Florida border.Beautiful day all around.












13 Nov 2010, 0830 hrs, depart anchorage, beautiful sunny day,
but the north wind(10kts) was chilly...damn Canadians winter winds!!!:)
Made for "Two Way Fish Camp" located on the South Altamaha River,
GA. As we got close we seen a boat with three Young men, and they
had broken down, so we towed them to the Marina.
See the pics attached to the blog.
Took on 123.8 gal of "cheap fuel"($2.96 gal), and
a dock for the night($1.50 per/ft). One of the best bargains in town.
Small marina, but they have a restaurant on site.
We are somewhere near Brunswick, GA., Marina is next to I95 overpass,
lots of traffic.
Tomorrow we make for St. Marys River(all you can eat shrimp at local Rest)
Free dock when you eat.
