As you probably have guessed, we are on the Intracoastal in South Carolina. Myrtle Beach to be exact. We debated on whether or not to keep going south but we have reached an area of few "Hurricane Holes" so we contacted our friends Gwen & Walter for any advice they could give. They steered us to Osprey Marina as a hurricane hole marina that is surrounded by trees on an area of the waterway that is further inland. It is really "out in the boonies" but we provisioned ahead and they have a very nice store with goodies and even a grill which is open Thursday thru Saturday for breakfast and lunch. So we won't starve!
So we are here, safe for the moment. Living in Florida we know that hurricanes can change course many times as is the case with Irene. First it was Florida, then Southern South Carolina, now the outer banks of North Carolina. Irene appears to be veering East which will be a VERY GOOD thing. We are all praying she will continue this north eastern movement and blow out to the Atlantic.
Our staying here or leaving the boat and heading inland is totally up to Irene. The dock master has been very helpful even offering to take us with him inland if needed. So we have a plan (only problem, it changes every day :)
So keep us in your prayers and lets all help steer Irene out to sea!

| Notice the Ice Cream freezer up front....yum. Since we can't keep it frozen on the boat this is a real PLUS!! |
