Snowbound in Georgetown

 Our 3 night stay in Georgetown has been stretched to 4.  Tuesday night Georgetown got 4” of snow… doesn’t sound like much… but it has closed the town for 2 days (and counting).  The temps are in 20’s and 30’s… so the snow is hanging around (no plow trucks in Georgetown).  Theodore was scheduled to join us here on Wednesday, but the Socastee Swing Bridge (between Myrtle Beach and Georgetown) was not opening (due to the snow)…. So they delayed their trip to Georgetown by a day… and we decided to stay an xtra day so we could reconnect.  New plan is to head out tomorrow morning, headed to Charleston.

We’ve been making a list and checking it twice (actually many times) food, clothes, supplies, etc.  Maintenance is complete and all systems are a go!  In the off season (early winter) Steadfast has been freshly detailed, has new upholstery, a new table, and new carpet… she’s looking great!  Plan is to leave at 1st light on Wednesday January 8.  This morning, it is 23 degrees in Dville, skim ice on the cove… depending on the weather between now and Wednesday… we might need an ice breaker!

On to Morehead City

 We left at 6:45, much nicer day than Saturday (glad we stayed put on Saturday).  Smooth travels, even saw our first Porpoises of the trip…expect more to come.  The wind built through the day to about 20kts, but we were in well protected waters, and very comfortable.  Arrived Morehead City Yacht Basin at 3:00.  Laundry, and dinner on the boat.  Here is our track from today:   Track

Southport, NC… last stop in NC

 Nice stay in Wrightsville Beach where we saw our 1st Spanish Moss of the trip… in spite of the cold temps… we ARE working our way SOUTH!  Today was a nice short run… left at 10 after a nice walk and a good bagel/coffee stop.  We cruised slow (efficient) and arrived at 1:30.  This is our 1st Safe Harbor marina of the trip (means FREE since we are “members”).  We’re staying here 2 nights.  Leigh will be joing us this evening, and staying through sometime on Monday… so she’ll travel with us to Myrtle Beach, and maybe even Georgetown.  Here it today’s  Track
