Long grind today; negative tidal flow, lots of traffic; took 9 hours to go 72 miles. Weather was good, cool, but lovely sunshine and great temperature. The pic to the left was taken going north on the Wacamaw River early this morning. Neat river in a lot of ways. This morning, all the birds that were chattering last n
ight were also up & about. No owls this morning, but the turkeys were very active. Speaking of turkeys, there have been some requests to have a photo of Scooter's captain posted on the blog. shades of the toolman show, here he is, hard at work trying to figure out which way to turn the wheel . Actually, that would be the helm.

I don't know why, Chuckie, but that is where they put it!
Biggest problem that we have uncovered in this part of the journey is that we can't find the GPS data card for the Chesapeake. Uh oh; what are we gonna do? Point it North & press on, I guess.
Went to the Deadend Cafe for dinner tonight. Live entertainment, Jimmy Buffet songs on a live guitar with a helpful audience, good food, and the beer was cold. The distaff part of Scooter's crew was promptly recognized mere moments into the program; me; I just smiled. Old songs work for me as well, but I'm talking "Home on the range" old songs.
So, tomorrow, weather permitting will most likely be up to Wrightsville Beach, NC. Short hop, so we should have enough time to hit the stores & the beach for a bit. According to the forecast, rain may put a damper on part of that plan, but we'll deal.
Catch you later.
