Barefoot Landing Marina, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

Got up this morning to storm and tornado warnings all up the East Coast, from Florida to New York. We decided that we would stay here, tied to a secure dock, rather than try to travel. the sky was very ugly by times, and the winds got up every now and then, but that is all we got. By the sounds of the news reports, the areas just north and west of us were hit badly, with many killed yesterday and today as the storm moved across the US. We were lucky to be here. Spent much of this morning planning future stops with Jim and Gloria. This afternoon we got a taxi and went back to WalMart, picked up several more things we had decided we needed. Gloria and I went shopping again in the mall right by our dock (how handy is that?). We plan to move on up to St. James Plantation Marina just outside of Southport tomorrow.
