Hey all,
Today we left from Morehead City NC at 8:40 AM. We had smooth riding all day today, except for the ride through the Cape Fear river, but that wasn’t so bad because the way the waves were coming at us, we were able to just stay on top of them. We made that 13 mile stretch in about 35-45 minutes. Here is a picture of Matt and I in the middle of the Fear River.
We were able to cruise at around 30-35 miles an hour all day today. It made for a very nice day and it was an overall successful day. We made it to Little River SC at about 7:30 PM and we pulled into a Marina Called Cricket Cove. Now, us being Grillo’s, we had to pull in there. For anyone that does not know, Grillo in italian means “Cricket”. So we pull in there and are greeted by a nice man named Steve. He said that we should just go about a half mile down the river and stay there because they had a marina and a hotel right next to each other. When we get there, Steve had driven down and met us and was able to let us use a friends slip free of charge! We were very grateful and happy to have a place to spend the night. I think today we traveled a total of about 120-125 miles. Well, off to dinner it is. We will be eating at a place called Chucks that is about 40 steps out the front door of our hotel.
Over and Out.

For a minute there I thought you were going to say the guys name was Jiminy. Glad to hear all went well that day. It appears you are in Charleston now. I understand you will lay up there for a day or two. Hopefully you take in some of the local history and get to Fort Sumner, Patriots Point ( home of the USS Yorktown) and the Castle Pinckney. And don’t forget to post up some photos.
