My biggest worry would be, as always, the
stinking rock ledges between Barefoot Landing and Doc Holidays at
North Myrtle Beach.

Hope this helps, good sailing, and keep in touch.

Thanks Muskrat,

I don't mind the "rockpile" - there's lots of water there. Glad to
hear they're doing some dredging. I thought the Corps of Engineers
didn't have any funds. I ran aground in that turn before Swansboro
going north a few years ago. I gather that bad stretch south of
Morehead City is gone. If the weather's ok I'll go out at Charleston
and in at Wrightsville and then out again to Beaufort. I guess I'll
have to miss Barefoot.

Hey, Captain Rick,

Don't blame you a bit for going to the outside, especially if the
weather the calls for those lovely s'westerlies we usually can rely on
this time of year. Good chance to run up all sails, and no need to
bother with those pesky bridges, bridges, bridges. Please don't
hesitate to contact me if you need a crew - hint, hint.

By the way, the rockpile has gotten more interesting now that a
freaking big gambling boat runs through twice a day. Might be deep,
but sure is narrow - yikes!

Apologies to Capt. Bryan for hijacking thread.
