October 30 and South Carolina

Today we intended to start early, 6:00, but the sun was not up so we left at 7:30. Never the less we got to the Carolina Bridge close enought to low tide that we got under without touching. Onward rates it as a number 1 and it is.
We had reserved a spot at The Bald Head Marina for Friday and Saturday. We had been told while in Oriental it was a great place. We listened to the weather report and found there were to be 50 knot winds off Cape Fear and decided we had pick the wrong time to visit. If we were not going to Bald Head Island Marina then why stop at Southport at 11:00. We should go west and try to get away from the storm.
Thinking that Myrthe Beach might be a good place for Kelly to celebrate Halloween off we went. This meant we had several bridges to go under, mostly around high tide. The first was a new one Yaupon Beach Bridge and we got under easily. The New Oak Bridge once again easy. Then came The Holden Beach Bridge right at high tide. It was showing just a bit more the 64 feet. After Tuesday's adventure we decided to wait and to tilt the boat. We waited 1.5 hours and put Trish in the dingy and went under with ease


The next two bridges were easy since we were well away from high tide.

We had some current which slowed us down and sped us up.




Waist of the time we just relax and enjoy the scenery.




I must not forget the dogs
