Waccamaw river

We had a little bit of a late start yesterday, tired and we had to wait for someone at the marina to wake up and open the fuel dock. On the way out I noticed that my generator shut down so I had to un fix the the fuel thingy and all was good. After some slow going, we hit the waccamaw river, wow. Very beautiful. Lots of marinas tucked in there too. If I had known, we would have planned our trip for a stop in one.

After the great ride through the river, we hit civilization. I think I idled for 4 hours. We're starting to hit a lot of boats heading north, mostly sail boats and trawlers so I have to slow down to give them a low wake pass, tons of houses on the water. I throw a pretty big wake, it's funny to watch jet skiers approaching my wake and when they get close, the look on their face is great. Most wus out and back off the throttle, but a few brave ones launch off it ending up in the water.

Lots of dolphin everywhere. Every once in awhile I get the urge to stop and jump in the water with them, but they'll probably bite my face off. I have to keep reminding myself that flipper wasn't real.

Hit another thunderstorm late afternoon. Lightning so close and so loud that it made my ears ring. Got to bald head island in the dark... Again. Wasn't pitch dark like the night before.

Going to try and catch the tide up the river today, should make some decent progress.
