North Myrtle Beach SC, SM 354 to Georgetown SC, SM 405

Oasis is on her way for another stretch of her journey and the captain is very pleased. The crew surely appreciates the clear blue skies and calm waters but the weather is chilly. On this first day of the voyage the captain and first mate had to wear their long johns, tuque and gloves but even though the weather was cold, they enjoyed the scenery very much. In the afternoon, it warmed up a bit and it was more comfortable navigating. The captain docked Oasis at Hazzard's Marina in Georgetown at 4:00 p.m. and afterward, the Captain and First Mate went sightseeing around town.

Pretty flowering shrubs along our way to town.

Georgetown is the third oldest city in South Carolina and the trees really shows it.

It's just a short walk from the marina to town.

Captain Jean Guy and First Mate Roselind finally return to greet Oasis

After two months of being away from his sailing vessel, the captain return with his wife to North Myrtle Beach to continue Oasis's Journey. They celebrated New Year's Eve at Barefoot Landing Village. The evening started with fireworks right across the Barefoot Landing Marina around 6:00 pm, and then had dinner at Greg's Norman Restaurant and finished the evening at the Alabama Theatre for a night of live entertainment.

The fireworks at the Barefoot Landing Village were magnificent. They lasted about 20 minutes and were quite spectacular.

At Greg's Norman Restaurant, a fine dining restaurant, we started the evening with a nice bottle of red wine, oysters for appetizers, steak and lobster claws for the entree and chocolate lava cake for dessert. Great Restaurant and Excellent Food!

The couple started the New Year relaxing and for the next few days they stroll along the beach, went sightseeing and visited around the area. They also went for a visit at Beneteau USA in Marion, SC, where Oasis was built. In January, the weather is chilly in Myrtle Beach and the captain was eager to head south, so they left Barefoot Landing Marina to continue  Oasis's Journey.

Jean Guy, happy to finally be on Oasis.

One thing the couple really enjoyed was taking a stroll on the beach.

Self explanatory!

These two seagulls were enjoying the beach as much as the captain and first mate.
