Sept 26 and 27 saw us travel to Little River, SC then on to Wrightsville Beach, NC. The trip up the Waccamaw river was probably the most scenic so far with almost no development and nearly virgin forest. Debby befriended the dockmistress at Coquina Yacht Club with one of her signature rum punches. As a result we got her life's story which was quite long as she is 72 years old.
The trip to Wrightsville was an eye opener in that the transition from SC to NC was like night and day. Once in NC the waterway was lined with homes and docks protruding into the ICW. Being Saturday with warm, calm weather everyone was out in their boats. With adverse wind and tidal current along with a clueless dock hand our arrival at Dockside Marina/Restaurant was very sporty. Fortunately, both ego and boat survived unharmed. (Getting out tomorrow may be a different story.) This is a very lively spot for Saturday night, but they need to work on the marina side of their business.

- "Paradise" is a 44' Navigator motor yacht which we have owned since 2005. We moved aboard full time in 2009 with a home base at Lauderdale Yacht Club in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Over the past 20 years we have made numerous trips to the Bahamas, Florida Keys and Florida West Coast. This is a narrative of some of our travels.
