Arrived back in Myrtle Beach, SC (April 13)


We left the anchorage quite early as it was NOT a peaceful night. Since the wind was blowing so hard, we felt compelled to check the anchor frequently so a good night sleep was not had by all. We danced at anchor all night long and with the wind and current, it made for some worry. We are now at Barefoot Landing Resort. WHAT a place. The 3 condo buildings are huge – about 15 stories high and the swimming pool is reported to be the largest in South Carolina. The onsite restaurant and bar had live music last night so we went and listened and drank some wine (hard to believe, I know). We had intended to stay here for a bit since it’s so convenient to everything, but pricing just isn’t competitive so we’ll move further north. We provisioned the boat as there is a Bi-Lo just down the street and did some laundry. We’ll take the dinghy over to Barefoot Landing later today and explore all the quaint shops. We’ll try to make Southport tomorrow and then hopefully they’ll be a weather window to head outside as we want to avoid the Figure 8 Island Swing Bridge which only opens twice per day.
