Intercoastal waterway, Calabash, SC

Pulled the anchor at about 8AM -  pretty swamps along the way.  Expect to see an alligator at any moment!

Going under one of the many fixed bridges.

What If going thru a swing bridge.  We had to request openings for 3 or 4 of these during the day.  We passed thru all of these with no delays.

Saw many of these flags along the way.   No comment.  (Which I guess is sort of a comment....)

Amazingly large houses along the way at some points.

Another swing bridge opening for us.

I had seen a couple of these mannequins on people's docks or in their back yards. What's up with that??   Kinda spooky if you ask me!!

Lots of commercial boats along the harbours sitting un-used.

The Myrtle Beach portion of the intercoastal is populated with lots of interesting little sights.  Lighthouse Marina (not really a lighthouse).

And another weird mannequin....

Casino boats sitting vacant.

Several boats anchored near us at Calabash Creek.   (along with a couple of ship-wrecks along the bank....not a good sign!)

Had a nice curry on Sojourn - made plans with What If to depart offshore in the morning - will do an overnight to Beaufort, NC and will hopefully be in Oriental at our home dock on Friday afternoon!
