Sept 23 Southport, NC to Waccamaw River, SC (Wacca Wache Marina)

No rain, but overcast today and as we were leaving the dock master said, ‘you guys trying the beat the weather?’  uh, what’s the forecast? i asked sheepishly (boaters should know the weather).  He said, high winds 25-30 knots and 3-4 foot seas - with a small craft advisory… yikes.  this would have kept us in place when traveling ‘outside’ but Harry decided to go for it since we were ‘inside’.   

And he was right….nothing at all bothered us on the ICW - HA i laughed ‘small craft advisory - ha…’  We traveled out of Southport and into the Waccamaw River and boy is it gorgeous…Harry calls it the ‘Wacha ma call it’ river.  Saw my fourth bald eagle (3rd on this trip)…they always amaze me.  

Arrived around 4 at another favorite marina…the restaurant is right there and another old Matthews lives here.  As we approached the office a guy yelled, Hi Harry!  ha…it was the Matthews owner that remembered his name from talking to him months ago.
