Mike and Patty's Great Loop Adventure 2018-2019

Isle of Palms Marina in Isle of Palms, South Carolina to Harborwalk Marina in Georgetown, South Carolina

Day #307: Mike and I were up at 5:15 A.M. to prepare for departure. Clear, low 70's with no wind. Engines were started at 6:05 A.M. "Parrot Bay" was underway at 6:10 A.M. "Parrot Bay" passed the tug "Hazel C" that was performing dredging operations at 9:10 A.M. The two of us saw dolphins all day multiple at a time some playing in the "Parrot Bay's" wake. The travel for Mike and I had some homes but for the most part it was trees and marsh land. At 12:30 P.M. "Parrot Bay" was secure at Harborwalk Marina in Georgetown after traveling 54.3 miles (3,319 miles total for the trip). The two of us walked over to the visitor center to get a map of the town. We then headed on a self guided tour of Georgetown stopping first at Indigo Bakery where we bought cookies for breakfast for the next few mornings while we are underway. The two of us visited the South Carolina Maritime Museum which was FREE. After the museum the two of us walked the historic district looking at homes. We then walked the boardwalk where I saw an alligator. At 3:30 P.M. we decided to headed to Buzz's Roost for an early dinner. After dinner the two of us headed back to the boat to have happy hour on the flying bridge. After happy hour it was time for blogging and reading. Early to bed as Mike and I as we will be traveling to Myrtle Beach.

Looks like they just kept adding onto this house to see how high they could stack it.

Oops!!

The birds!!!!! (Thanks to Mike for catching this picture). They followed in our wake for about an hour picking at small fish that surfaced behind the boat.
