10/17 & 10/18, 2015 Barefoot Landing, Myrtle Beach

10/17
Although we don't like traveling on weekends, we wanted to get to Myrtle Beach.  There was more boat traffic, making for a more stressful day.  All of the big boats have been very courteous when passing us.  In other words, they passed us slowly causing minimal wake. 

Fortunately we had reservations at Barefoot Landing because fifteen boats were turned away.  We are tied up on the left side of the river as we head south.  This is just a long dock wall with no restrooms or showers.  However, it is close to shops and restaurants.  The marina on the other side (owned by the same people), is surrounded by high rises and has restrooms and showers, but no shops.  To come to this side, they must cross the bridge. 

We met up with former loopers Julie and Andy (Fruitcakes) and our niece Christine, for happy hour at Flying Fish.  Ann participated in the fish throwing....very funny!

10/18
We had planned to get an Uber ride to church, but found that they charged $13 each way.  So we decided to borrow Chris' car instead.  On the way to Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church, I stopped by WalMart and got a quick haircut. Then we stopped at Chris' and put in a load of laundry and then went to lunch.  With a second load of laundry in, we went to buy groceries.

Once back at the boat, Ken and Ann invited us back to Flying Fish.   While getting ready, I received a call from Dee Ely, a former colleague at Pekin High.  She joined us for happy hour and it was great catching up!
