SUNSHINE tied up at Barefoot Landing Marina
Weather: Mostly cloudy, but we had periods of sun throughout the day; it was a blustery day, but since we were in a canal for most of the day, we didn’t feel much of a breeze. The waterway had light chop and we had the current with us.
Comment: SUNSHINE is docked in Osprey Marina, two days ahead of schedule. The extra days will be used to do some minor boat projects and prepare for our departure on Wednesday. Before tying up, we had intended to fuel up, but the fuel dock was occupied by other vessels, so we were directed to tie up at a “T” dock. We’ll fill up on another day.

After tying up, we enjoyed lunch in the marina grill. Talked to the staff and attended to some tasks on the boat. The marina folks lent us a TV cable as ours wasn’t long enough to reach the outlet. With this, we hoped to watch the Eagles in the afternoon and the Phillies at night. As luck would have it, the cable company broadcast the Dallas game over the Eagles, so we listened on the radio. As I write this blog, we are watching the Phillies.
I forgot to mention that we passed the salt line yesterday right before passing through the Little River Swing Bridge. We will be in the fresh water of the canal and Waccamaw River until we get near Georgetown and Winyah Bay.
