Spooners Cr. to Georgetown, SC

This section of the ICW is the most varied. We passed through part of Camp LaJune and waited for the marines to stop shooting at targets along the waterway. From the condition of the targets we say, our guys need more practice. At Myrtle Beach we stayed in a very nice resort marina that had on site restaurants and a shuttle to the beach so Diane could collect more shark's teeth and shells. The past two nights have been spent at anchor in secluded creeks along the Waccamaw River. If you look at the map you will notice some of the creeks we explored on the 14th and 15th. In the evenings the only sounds came from birds and other wildlife. Not a human sound. At night we sat on deck trying to identify stars and planets. We have seen lots of birds along this section of the ICW; another eagle (either immature bald or golden, not sure which), gators, turtles plus the usual pelicans and gulls. Also a flock of wood storks. Three of the four photos are of the shoreline at our Waccamaw anchorages. In the forth, Diane is scouting for birds and alligators.
