Barefoot Landing Marina, Myrtle Beach SC

Yes, we are now in South Carolina. After  a 9 hour day of motoring along an ever changing and picturesque passage, including one known as the Rockpile (very tricky), we waited for about a half hour with 4 other boats for a swing bridge (on demand opening...). Soon all 5 of us pulled into Barefoot Landing Marina, Myrtle Beach SC. This docking was smartly orchestrated by the dockhands as all 5 of the boats were coming in to the same dock.
 As we sat in the cockpit marveling at our new surroundings two of the military boats (one of several) that had passed us in the Cape Fear River earlier in the day motored by. The picture shows these odd looking boats, as well as the cosmopolitan surroundings here. Barefoot Landing is a very unique stopover. We were able to plug in and then walk up the dock to behold  a complete shopping mall. Unbelievable!! We joined Carey and Bobbi to explore the shops and have a fantastic dinner at The Flying Fish Restaurant. Ron and Carey even bought new crocks and sandals.....The girls purchased nothing!!
