There is not much new from Wilmington since our boatyard friends don't work on weekends. Our Looper friends Julie and Andy (
Fruitcakes), invited us to stay with them at their home in Little River, SC, for the weekend. Little River is an hour's drive from Wilmington, and we were more than happy to accept their generous invitation. We arrived at their place Friday afternoon and then went to a house-warming party at Dave's and Di's (
Phat Cat) lovely new condo.
On Saturday Julie and Andy drove us around nearby Cherry Grove, North Myrtle Beach, and Myrtle Beach to show us the sights. Luckily the main tourist season is over. We had a delicious dinner at Flying Fish at Barefoot Landing- a restaurant we loved when we were here in the spring.
Today we were treated to a cruise on
Fruitcakes along with 2 other couples. The 8 of us nosed out of Little River inlet into the open sea to check out a shrimper and a few dolphins before eating a picnic lunch while anchored off Bird Island. It was a great afternoon!
If all goes as promised, our pump will arrive from Raleigh tomorrow morning and be installed in the afternoon, and
Mara Beel will go into the water on Tuesday. We will then need a couple of days to clean and re-provision before getting underway. Keeping our fingers crossed!
