Trying to make as much distance as we can today. Short goal is Myrtle Beach, stretch is somewhere on the Waccamaw River. Carl spotted a very large bald eagle today. Arrived at Barefoot Marina too early to call it a day. We fueled up and continued down the to Waccamaw River. Planning to anchor in one of the many spots off the river. We decided that since we would have a full moon tonight, we would continue on until we reached the anchorage behind Butler Island. Using the moon light, chart plotter and the radar, we were able to safely navigate the twisting and turning river. I don't think I would have like doing this if we didn't have the moon light to help. Sometimes the chart plotter can have you traveling over land instead of being in the center of the channel. This would turn out to be the longest day of the trip so far. We traveled just over 14 hours today.
