St. James Marina, NC

Day 268, May 8th, 2010

John and I got going at 7:00 again. The other two boats, with their bigger engines, were leaving after us. We set off again and thank goodness it was a little cooler with a bit of a breeze which improved as the day went on.

A lovely day moving north through South Carolina. Wow! what a change since our last visit in 2005. There has been so much development along the waterway with beautiful homes, each of course, with their own long pier across the marshes to the dock. The cable car gondola is still there across the waterway where the golfers move from one half of the golf course to the other.
There was lots of traffic with fast speed boats and jet skis along the way. But it was a good day and we made good progress again with a good southerly breeze pushing us along.

We stopped for the night in St. James Marina, in North Carolina. Cakaro and Barefoot arriving just before us. The last time we were here (with Bread & Roses) the place had just opened. Now its a busy place with lots of boats and all the gorgeous homes are occupied. We had supper in the restuarant with Wayne and Bobbie from Barefoot and then set about to do chores.
