Wacammaw River - Anchorage
It was a little weird and
sad to pull in the lines and pull away from Ashley Marina. It's been our home
for the past seven months, but I have to admit it felt nice to be back on the
water. Our first day was beautiful, sunny and cool. The only issue we had was
the current…we fought it all day. We moved at a slower pace than usual, which
means we were REALLY going slow. It gave us plenty of time to notice the
scenery and the wildlife. We had the usual dolphins to keep us company, but we
were also lucky enough to spot two eagles and two alligators. Both are things
we don't see that often. We also got into an area with lots of horse flies. I
think they call it a flybridge because the flies like to congregate there while
you're cruising. We make a game out of seeing how many we can kill. I'm sure we
killed at least 50! Luckily we only had their company a small part of the day.
I wish I could share
smells with the blog sometimes. In different areas we get some wonderful
smells. Today the smell of honeysuckle was everywhere. What an amazing aroma to
have around when you're cruising. Of course there are days when the smells
aren't as nice as today...like paper mills and pluff.
We are anchored behind
Butler Island in the Wacammaw River. We’ve been here before and really like it,
it’s a beautiful spot…nice scenery and very quiet.
I found our daughter in-law's yacht...Lady Britt. We could all have fun on this little boat!
Great pictures! Nice to see that you're traveling again...hopefully we won't be too far behind you all.
