Day 189 Made it to the Good Ole’ NC State Line

 

Left the beautiful Waccamaw River this morning after hearing wildlife overnight, including some Barred out. The cold front that came through left the warm river creating fog for the morning beach walk with Ali. The cypress trees with the Spanish moss hanging over them never get old to me because they are so beautiful.  Made our way through the infamous Myrtle Beach area and finally made it to North Carolina. We are anchored out near Shallotte Inlet at the intersection of Holden Beach and Ocean Isle. We chose this spot instead of making additional miles north because there are no other anchorages until you reach the Cape fear River. The impressive 4 knot ebb tide flowing down river prevents travel north on the Cape Fear until two hours after low tide (beginning of the flood tide). Jessica and I walked around Shallotte point and enjoyed a Monday on the water with very few boats around the waterway.  Today marks the one year anniversary in which are beloved Sheltie Ami passed away.  A funny boat story about Ami, whenever Jessica would go down below, Ami could not understand where her mommy went, so she would look for her mommy on the bow of the boat! Her loyalty was amazing!!! We are so happy to love on her sister Alli every day!
