Calabash Creek, South Carolina
10 October 2015
We anchored 2 nights in Wrightsville Beach, NC. We spent Friday dinghying around. We found a Harris Teeter and a seafood house, Moss’ Seafood, with fresh caught scallops and grouper. We spent the afternoon on the beach, Robins favorite pastime. Dinner on the boat, was fresh salad, seared scallops, tomato basil risotto and a nice wine. Thank you Nancy Platts for the inspiration, it was so good!
Left this morning and motored 60 miles to Calabash Creek, just north of Myrtle Beach. The trip was beautiful, warm sunny skies, until just before we anchored, then a warm gentle rain this evening.
I mentioned in the last post how significant the current can be. We were traveling through Snow Cut fighting a strong current at 4.5 knots, as we moved into the Cape Fear River we accelerated to 10.3 knots. That is faster than the hull speed of the boat. The tide really pushed us along.
We will decide tomorrow if we will go to the Little River Shrimpfest. We had a lot of fun there last year.
