We arrived at Georgetown and tied up to the city docks and had dinneer at a local restaurant. We then tied up at a marina; since there was very little room in the anchorage and there are alligators around. We motored up the Wacama River the next day past Myrtle Beach and anchored close by Calabash. The next day we went outside to the Cape Fear River and up to a Marina, where we had dinner with one of Nanc's friends, Barbara Johnston. We then motored North to Masonboro Inlet and went outside to Beaufort, NC and up the river to Adams Creek. When I got up this morning the boat was covered with Midges. They were everywhere. We battled with them all the way to the Alligator River Marina where we are now. As we where approaching Bellhaven today a Cat passed us by called Final Approach. I hailed him on channel 16 and we talked. He had been a Marine Fighter pilot who flew F-4s, we had been behind him in the Charleston City Marina, watched him pass us outside going to Beaufort, and he passed us again today coming here. We spent three hours in the Alligator=Pungo Canal which is my least favorite part of the ICW. Boring! I had planned on going across the Albemarle Sound and anchoring tonight, but Nanc threw the "Jewelry Card" on me, I panicked, and we put into the Alligator Marina next to "Final Approach." We had them over for drinks; Peggy and Bob Demers, really nice folks, and they have a frozen prop shaft bearing. We head North in the morning for Norfolk. Priscilla has promised apple pie for my birthday on Friday; full steam ahead. The sunset pics are Adams Creek. S
