Tueday April 10

needed a bridge opening on this one
narrow stretch ICW
Today we cruised 95 miles to Myrtle Beach, S.C.  The ICW channel north of Charleston is among the straightest stretches along the entire ICW.  We continue to enjoy the beautiful Carolina low country.  It has been fun to watch the various species of birds, they are plentiful and find lots to eat in these waters.  One gets the feeling of being out in the middle of nowhere.
 About 40 miles north of Charleston we started to notice a change in the flora.  Palm trees & live oak began to give way to pines.  The docks along this stretch of the ICW are 500 to 600 feet long.
600 foot dock
 We are grateful that is not the case on Clear Lake.
