Day 112 (8/12/26) – Morningstar Marina (Southport) to Port City Marina (Wilmington)
It was a beautiful day for a cruise! We spent the day heading north on the Cape Fear River. Biscuit is safely docked at Port City Marina in Wilmington, North Carolina, a “hurricane hole” marina that will help protect Biscuit if there is hurricane activity while we’re gone. We’ll continue our adventure when we return.…

Day 111 (8/11/26) – Layover in Southport with a side trip to Bald Head Island
I’m combining our travel and layover days into one spectacular blog! We had a good cruise on 8/10 to Morningstar Marina in Southport. Winds were sassy but the deck hands and the captain were able to hold her close to the dock while we got her tied up. Shortly after, Mark Scagnelli picked us up…

Day 109 (8/9/26) – Layover at Myrtle Beach Yacht Club (Little River)
So…it turns out that we are nowhere close to Myrtle Beach proper. We’re actually well to the north. I do remember passing through Myrtle Beach on the AICW and thinking, “look at those huge crowds!” So, we spent a quiet day at the marina catching up on sleep, route planning, boat chores, and expense tracking.…

Day 107 (8/7/26) – Harborwalk Marina to Wacca Wache Marina (Murrells Inlet)
Today’s highlights were ospreys, bald eagles, and bald cypress trees! It was a short, scenic hop from Georgetown to Wacca Wache Marina in Murrells Inlet. We were awed by the beautiful cypress forests along the riverbank. The name Wacca Wache is believed to come from Native American language, often interpreted as meaning “laughing water” or…

Day 105 (8/4/26) – Safe Harbor Charleston City Marina to Harborwalk Marina (Georgetown, South Carolina)
Today’s highlights include lots of dolphins and three American alligator sightings! Pretty big ones, too. We also saw three belted kingfishers. Oh, and more wood storks. My binoculars got a workout! The morning started off rainy and cool as we said goodbye to Charleston. We calibrated the compass on our Garmin GHC 50 autopilot and…

Day 101 (7/31/26) – Layover in Charleston, South Carolina
This post is dedicated to the lovely city of Charleston, South Carolina, with its friendly community, historic homes, tree lined streets, and good eats! We’re enjoying the sights and eating our way through the Lowcountry! Ps – we hit the 100 day cruise mark yesterday and we’re still married! We’ll be here a few more…

Day 98 (7/28/26) – Safe Harbor Beaufort Marina to Safe Harbor Charleston City Marina
Today’s highlight – we hit 2,000 miles on our Great Loop Journey! Today’s lowlight…we lost the autopilot and had to manually maneuver a ton of wiggles. So happy to be docked! The Safe Harbor Charleston City Marina is quite nice and we are excited to explore the historic city of Charleston in the coming days.…

Day 97 (7/27/26) – Layover in Beaufort, South Carolina
Today’s highlight – touring the Beaufort Historic District! In spite of the heat, we jumped on our bikes and viewed many beautiful historic homes. It’s hard to appreciate the beauty of these homes through photographs, but I’ve tried really hard! Cotton was king here until the Civil War. Then everything changed. Beaufort played a key…
