Hi All,
Well our daughter's wedding is over and we ran "out of Dodge". Trying to get to the warm climes. Arrived in Myrtle Beach on Nov 10th only to be greeted mid-40's but at least it went to the mid-60's and the sun was shinning.
Oh yeah back to our daughter Marcella's wedding. Seems like a blurr! 300 relatives, friends and strangers with 5hrs to say Hi. That's one(1) minute per/person! However, it was a blast. We can't take total credit for the success because Adam(our new "son" who came into our lives "potty trained", pretty cool,huh? ) & Marcella planned most of it. A few surprises thrown in( Cigar roller, replace classic Father/Daughter song "Daddy's Little Girl" with "Pink Cadillac" and the list goes on...). So far have not heard anything less than fantastic from the attendees. Can one of you promise us that you will invite us to a wedding like that so we can dance, drink, and eat? Other highlights included our son, Corbett 3rd, flying home from Santa Barbara and we got to meet his girlfriend, Flannery. Two days after he arrives the surf( yes NJ gets waves) goes bigtime and we(Dad) get to spend sometime together surfing in the cold water along with our nephew,JJ. Of course Marcella was sweating it out if there was going to be waves the next day, Saturday! Well it wasn't good enough to miss the wedding and Father & Son showed up.
Left Wacca Wache Marina today. This was the perfect location close to Myrtle Beach airport and even more important right in the backyard of the "star" of our very 1st blog entry, "Country Bobby" and his wonderful wife, Claudia. these two cannot be outdone when it come to Southern Hospitality. Don't know where to start. Airport service,shopping, laundry, Oyster Roast... did we say Oyster Roast, tours of the area...and the list goes on!! Thanks again you two!!!
Also got to have dinner with part of our "new" family, Scott & Terry Rosenberg, Adam's uncle and aunt. They live nearby. We relived the wedding and woke up the marina as we laughed the night away on the boat!
We had a good day today as we made it to just 10mi from Charleston. It was cold. Again mid-40's. Gloves, wool hat, wool socks..... Got up to 65. Mostly motoring but, that's the ICW.
Next summer we are seriously considering leaving our boat down south so we could avoid the weather delays and wear and tear on the Cookie Monster.
All for now,

A NJ ex-pat moved here in the early '70s. Now he is more local than the locals.It was like having our private historian and wildlife expert onboard!!
If sailing in gloves and a hat is too much for you, I'll gladly come down & trade places with you!!
