We spent the weekend exploring Georgetown, SC, via “Shoe Leather Express,” as labeled by Tate. Fishing, restaurants, museums, shops, bars, gators looking for handouts, before racing the ominous clouds the 1.2 miles back to the boat at Georgetown Landing Marina. Barely made it before the bottom dropped out!
After a nice dinghy ride of slightly more than an hour, we had lunch and spent the afternoon exploring the Riverwalk, the downtown historical society and local museum, and walking among lots of large, old live oaks, before cooling off on the dinghy ride back to the boat.
Found this in the Horry County Museum. Conway being not too far from touristy Myrtle Beach, law enforcement once had the privilege of rocking the bomb uniforms!
Having not yet seen the boat, our oldest son Tate took some time to come cruise with us. After picking him up at the airport on June 8, and some last-minute shopping (including a father-son excursion to the tackle shop for new rods and reels), we headed to the boat to prepare for the next day’s departure. Having been there far too long, we excitedly left Holden Beach Wednesday morning, June 9, with Tate aboard as our first cruising guest.
