Monday March 5, 2012 Huntington Beach SC SP to Myrtle Beach Travel Park, SC Windy Windy Windy!!! OMG was it Windy. Did I say it was Windy? My rig was rocking and rolling and I wasn’t even moving!!!! Up reasonably early, and couldn’t even walk on the beach. The sand was blowing like drifting snow. Took a shower in the bathhouse and packed up awaiting the 11:00 departure to view Nancy’s bicycles. She wasn’t ready until 11:30, and that was making me annoyed, as I wanted to be on the road. I didn’t ask some pertinent questions which would have saved me the aggravation, but both bicycles were men’s, and I can’t get my leg over a man’s bike, so I reneged on both. She was very disappointed, as she really wanted my TV. She was ... read more

The truck was packed with not an inch to spare and made it to Myrtle Beach in good time to get Ernie to the kennel and to our timeshare on the ocean. Flowers and green grass and warmer weather and no more SNOW. Played "The Witch" - beatiful course in the Low Country with boardwalk paths between the holes. Loved our tuna at bonefish and raw oysters at Rockefellers - food we can't get in NH. Had a thunderstorm over the ocean with lightning flashes and thunder. Happy hour on the patio watching the waves come in. Off to get the camper on Thur.... read more

I named the baby turtle MOSES!!! He’s so precious check out the picture of the little man!!! My mother, father, and I went out for a walk around the golf course at Brunswick Plantation this morning… and I found myself laughing about the conversation we were having at one point….this is EXACTLY how it went… with no pauses….. and if you know my family at all, you probably won’t be surprised one bit. ME: “Dad….did you know that in Texas, they say a Texas pledge after the Pledge of Allegiance in schools, and they put their hands out like this?” (holding my hands out in front of me cupping them together like I am catching water) DAD: “No I didn’t know that, that’s good, good for them. Did you know when the Constitution is printed there ... read more

I have been running 10 or 11 hours a day since Fernandina beach. I bailed out to this marina because of thunderstorms tomorrow. There are only a few good anchorages I could have gotten to today and they are pretty small. I didn't want to be anchored close to other boats in 30 kt winds. I hope to leave early Monday morning and get to Wrightsville Beach, NC before dark. My brother is going to meet me there and run until where ever we are on Sat. This is the first marina I have been in since Fernandina. It was great to take a real shower. I think I was beginning to get a little gamey. I treated myself to a nice meal and few beers at the yacht club. Met a few people and traded ... read more
