Merry Christmas

Murrell’s Inlet, SC at Wacca Wache Marina.

We loved this stretch of the Intracoastal on the Waccamaw River through the National Wildlife Refuge, with Cyprus trees coming straight out of the water. Lots of beautiful anchorages, but we decide on the Wacca Wache marina, where we tie up and enjoy an early Christmas Eve supper at Hannah Bananas, here on the dock.

Our heads are turned by Nellie D, a 37’ Lord Nelson Victory Tug (see photo) , a splendid trawler we could live with if we weren’t hardcore sailors. We enjoyed spending time aboard Act III with her owners, Dave and Bicki Howell, who shared their vast and varied cruising adventures with us. It was a most pleasant way to spend a holiday eve.

Today it’s raining and blowing, but temperatures are mild, so we’ll continue 20 miles to Georgetown. After this weather front passes, we’ll decide if we'll go outside to Charleston, or continuing down the Intracoastal.

I’ll copy Nellie D’s good example and include a lat/long with our blogposts.
