We left Charleston and hopped out in the ocean to go as far as Georgetown, SC, where we celebrated Father's Day and David's birthday :) After that, we took the ICW to Osprey Marina near Myrtle Beach and continued north the following day to Coquina Yacht Club in Little River (both in SC). We spent five relaxing days visiting my aunt and uncle in Calabash, NC, and left this morning for the ocean and Southport, NC.

 |
| Another came out just after we made our turn north |
 |
| Georgetown Light |
 |
| Shrimp boat |
 |
| These are portable chairs we use in our cockpit. On David's birthday, a pop-up thunderstorm came through and blew this chair right out of the boat! We watched it float across the river in the pouring rain. |
 |
| Second storm cloud |
 |
| One of the dockhands took David over there to retrieve the seat (he appreciated the nice tip and we appreciated getting the seat back :). |
 |
| Coming back to the marina with the portable seat...yay! |
 |
| Birthday dinner at the River Room |
 |
