Georgetown, NC

     Another great day to be on the water. Since we were only going 30 miles we chose to have breakfast before we set out, instead of while we are under way, as usual. We untied the lines around 8:30am which is late for us. I have no idea why I can't sleep in past sun-up, usually I'm up before the sun. I think it has something to do with being retired.
 We sailed down a the most scenic section of the Atlantic Inter-coastal Waterway on the Waccamaw River. Golf courses and magnificent houses line both sides, we were the only boat for most of the way.

We were moving along at a nice when we noticed something strange ahead of us, we both strained our eyes trying to figure out what the heck kind of boat was ahead of us and how to avoid it. We slowed down because it was crossing in front of us, as we got close enough to see what it really was we both burst in to laughter. Here was a truck on a broken barge being towed across the river. Only in the south.

When we arrived in Georgetown, we quickly got the boat squared away then went for a stroll through this  historic town. Houses from 17 and 1800s line the streets. And yes, George Washington did stay here.

 We walked along the waterfront, stopped in a pub for a late lunch, then slowly made or way back to our dock. A flock of pelicans flew over to visit. I think they wanted to give me a lesson on how to catch fish. They were having feeding frenzy not 20 feet off our boat. Some of the fish were so big they had trouble swallowing them. Show offs....
