Day 128 to very southern Myrtle Beach

We left Georgetown, SC, specifically the Harborwalk Marina at 7:50 am and headed for the Osprey Marina, which is at the southern edge of Myrtle Beach, SC. The trip was 33 miles and with very favorable tidal currents we arrived at Osprey Marina at 11:30 am. Shortly after we arrived, Pam and Del W. arrived for a visit. They kindly loaned us one of their cars so that we could tour around the area. The car just happened to be an "Aggie" maroon convertible... Osprey Marina is an excellent, nearly new marina, but it is well away from all amenities. The IntraCoastal Waterway is about 4 miles inland at this location, and of course, most of the development is right along the coast. Thus, the car was wonderful (and very necessary) to see the area.

     Pam and Del had other commitments for the day, but we made plans to meet up in the morning and tell lies... Pam and Del are originally from my hometown of Lorain, Ohio, and in fact, Pam was my date for the Lorain High School Prom in May, 1961... More about this in tomorrow's post.

     The first picture is from the beach closer to "downtown" Myrtle Beach. The second picture is of the Admiral wading in the Atlantic Ocean. Her comment was "It's cold." We knew that sooner or later as we progressed northward that the Atlantic would cool off, and I guess that we have reached that point. Myrtle Beach is a vacation spot with lots of hotels and condos.Of course there are also lots of golf courses. In addition to "regular" golf courses, we saw at least 6 putt-putt golf courses. We also drove through one amazing mall with a real amusement park -like really big ferris wheel and roller coaster, Ripley's, etc.
   After dinner out, we drove back to Lucky Us for an early bed time...
