We are still on our mission to get Lainey from the Souther
family. She is already at Murrell's
Inlet, SC. We passed through Southport
and decided we need to stop in this quaint town on our trip back up north. We made great time traveling in the Cape Fear
River. We passed by Oak Island, Holden
Beach, and Ocean Isle Beach. Just after
mile 340 we crossed into SC. We had to
lower our antenna at mile 353.3 to go under the Barefoot Landing Bridge. Traveling down the Waccamaw River was an
interesting mix of developed and undeveloped areas. At mile 383.4 we arrived at the Wacca Wache
Marina in Murells Inlet. It was raining
while I readied the lines. We were met
at the docks by Greg, Patti, and Katie Souther and of course our dear girl
Lainey.
We rushed to get dried off and into different clothes so
that we could go to Brookgreen Gardens Nights of a Thousand Candles. This is a display of lights and candles
throughout the beautiful Brookgreen Gardens in Myrtle Beach. We started at the food tent which was catered
by Drunken Jack's, a local restaurant.
Then we were led through the gardens by Mike and Deborah (Greg's sister and her
boyfriend) who have attended this event for several years.
We wandered around for a few hours, took some pictures,
enjoyed the holiday music, and even visited the gift shop. We returned to our boat thoroughly exhausted
but full of the Christmas spirit.
