Reccomendations

Osprey Marina
N 33 40.866 W 79 02.481

We don't stay at marinas very often. To do so would put a serious strain on a cruiser's budget. Nevertheless, we do need to take showers and do laundry every once in a while.

We heard good reports about Osprey Marina from other cruisers. The marina sits in a cut to the side of the Wacamaw River near Myrtle Beach. My charts and the GPS show the cut to be less than 6 feet deep, but in reality there is more than 9 feet of depth at low tide. We have passed by this place 3-4 times before without considering a stop. This time we decided to give it a try.

What a delightful place this turned out to be. It is marvelously sheltered. Very peaceful and beautiful. Their prices are very good, and the people here are friendly. We have clean showers, laundry, WIFI. Life is good. I recommend this place.

I also want to recommend a competing cruising blog. Pat and Ray on Reflection write an excellent blog. I enjoy reading it and you may too. Their style is different than mine and they can't compete with my number of posts, but they do an excellent job. See it here. By the way, you can see Ray and Pat and Reflection today on the Oriental Harbor Cam.

  1. I like your blog better although they are photo-intensive. Replete I think is the word?

    If 1 photo = 1000 words, then I'd say you two are about even :)

    EPIC weather awaits you down here.
