Monday - November 14

A great day on the water with sunshiny skies and 73!   And another awesome sunrise to start our day...

Just south of Wrightsville Beach, NC
Passing Myrtle Beach, these gondola rides were right in front of us - think it was some sort of amusement park?
Lots and lots of cypress trees in the water in SC
Remember I told you about the Dismal Swamp or ICW "mustache"?    Well, here it is - on the boat behind us tonight- yellowish discoloration of the hull from the water color.

 All went well and tonight we are at the Osprey Marina about 20 miles south of Myrtle Beach, SC.    Two states down and 3 to go....

I exercised along the way and Mark did his after we settled in - also went for a walk and I hosed down Catrina.   This is a very pretty area with lots of cypress trees and the marina is really tucked back in from the intracoastal.   They gave us a nice welcome bag full of cheese and crackers (tonight's appetizer), pecan/cinnamon rolls (tomorrow's breakfast), shampoo, conditioner, soap, key ring w/whistle, cozie holder, candy and more!!!     The restaurant (The Osprey Inn) is closed for the season, but there's lots of boats here and the folks are just so friendly.

We traveled 90 miles today and while there are many boats heading south for the winter, it's amazing how there will be a big bunch together (usually waiting for a bridge to open) and then these wide-open spaces of just us!     Did lots of oohing and aahing over all the homes again today!

Hope all is good wherever you are?

Pat: The gondola you passed could have been people actually going to play golf. There is a golf course that has a gondola ride from their parking lot to the golf course on the other side of the water. I don't know of an amusement park that has a gondola ride over the water, but it could have been erected since I was there. Pretty pics and hopefully good weather the farther south you cruise. Judy
