Day 33 back to boat @ North Myrtle Beach Marina

After a 9 hour road trip with a car full of new boat stuff, required 3 marina hand carts to transport to the boat, this was how it looked before it was organized and stowed.

This is an elderly boat across from our marina slip at the Barefoot Landing Marina on the Little River at Mile 352.  I am thinking it might be a Hackercraft.  Mr. Austeberry of Grosse Ile had one at one time that from my memory was sort of like this one.  Maybe someone knows her make, length and approximate age.  Maybe my Brother?

The "Admiral" off to the marina laundramat with a load of laundry.  Kathy and Doug, does the wheely thing look familiar?

At last, the Salt Shaker is not dwarfed by her stable mates.  The condos (four buildings of them) are part of the Barefoot Landing complex.  How many dozen would you like to buy?  Myrtle beach was hit hard by the bursting real estate bubble.

********************************

We arrived back to the boat last night from Orlando after the birth of Lea and all the festivities associated with.  Two days in Orlando, followed by two days back to Palmetto (home port of the Salt Shaker) and visited with grandpa Chernushka for two days, followed by two more days back in Orlando to visit with Lea.

Tomorrow we leave North Myrtle Beach on to Southport, NC.  One of the interesting features of this part of the trip is the Cape Fear River.  I like the name.

The camera I bought for the trip was one recommended by Jeff's dad.  It is the Canon SX200 IS Power Shot.  It is simple to use but can do complex things if you need them.  12 mega pixels and a great telephoto lense.  It has not disappointed us and the price on Amazon.com was reasonable.

Pat is cooking tonight's din din and I will put the barbi on the stern and grill some chicken we purchased today.  One of the dock fellows took us to the store after his shift ended.  Great gesture on his part.  Let me recommend the Barefoot Landing Marina.  It is the one on the west side of the river.

We are listening to Pat Daly too.  Great enjoyment!
