Happy Anniversary to Wayne and Patti Bumm, who celebrate 37 years of wedded bliss today.
We left Georgetown yesterday at 6:40 a.m. for North Myrtle Beach. It was cool. SOG was 7.5 knots. SOW was 6.6 knots at 3000 rpms. Winds were light, only 6 knots. It was sunny, but brisk. The air smelled awful from the paper mills.
We had reservations at Dock Holidays at $1.40/ft. plus $6 for electric. It is 6 miles north of Barefoot Landing.
We lucked out at Socastee Highway Bridge, which is suppoed to open at quarter of and quarter after the hour. We arrived at 10:55 a.m. and the bridge tender opened for us. But when we arrived at Barefoot Landing, our luck ran out. Because of high winds, the swing bridge wouldn't open. So we docked at Barefoot Landing Resort, across from Barefoot Landing, which was full. The marina only charged us $1 a foot, because there was a group of 50 trawlers there and that was the rate he gave them. Sweet.
We took the dogs for a walk around the marina. A little after three, Tom, who worked at the marina, took me to the Bi-Lo supermarket for eggs. I picked up bagels for Patti while I was there.
We need a lot of groceries, but he was kind enough to take me and was in a hurry, so I didn't want to take advantage of his good nature.
The four of us went in our dinghy across the waterway to Barefoot Landing and walked around the shops for a few hours. I bought a new pair of boat shoes at Burlington Shoes and then we went to dinner at Greg Norman's to celebrate Wayne and Patti's anniversary. Chuck and I both had prime rib. It was delicious and we have enough leftovers for lunch today.
