We left Charleston, SC on Wednesday morning heading for Georgetown and it was a rather long day. We thought we had a muffler problem and ended up staying over 2 nights and fortunately everything ended up OK. Georgetown is a really cute city with a historic district right by the waterfront and I rode my bike along Front Street checking out some of the little shops. I discovered the Kudzu Bakery and got some great bread and dessert items. Mike and I had dinner at the Rice Paddy Restaurant which was excellent.
We left this morning and after a 6/12 hour cruise arrived at a marina near Myrtle Beach ahead of a storm. It was an interesting journey today as we encountered several swing bridges which open on request and they have to stop all traffic on both sides. Some of the scenery along the waterway was just beautiful and the closer we got the Myrtle Beach, the more activity we saw. This is definitely a vacation town and we encountered numerous jet skis all around us. We'll be leaving in the morning heading north.
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
