Leaving the Outer Banks on a Ferry Boat was a good time to wind down and relax. The ride was enjoyable and, fortunately, uneventful. About nightfall, we spent the night in a motel somewhere South Carolina. Today was Sunday, The Lord's Day. Our destination is Myrtle Beach. We intended to drive for a couple of hours before stopping somewhere for church. One town after another came and went until we pulled into the parking lot at the Myrtle Beach Church of Christ, 3 minutes before services began. What timing!
The worship was great. It was refreshing to be here this morning. Now it was time for lunch. Debby thought we should go to a seafood restaurant. Just off Celebrity Circle we found Captain George's Seafood Restaurant. It was a great place and my Shrimp plate was excellent. Our corner window table offered a panoramic view of Myrtle Beach.
Following lunch we walked around back of the restaurant and found our way to the beach. As we walked towards the Atlantic on the burning sand, an Emergency vehicle pulled up next to several beach-goers and rushed over to someone who had
experienced some kind of breathing problem. People came running down the beach to view this exciting event, thinking it was another Shark attack. As soon as they found out it wasn't, they turned and walked back to their little spot on the beach and resumed their activities.
Apparently, the upturn in Shark sightings and attacks were not enough to deter everyone from getting in the water. We watched several paddling on surf boards and swimming. Back home we call this trolling for Sharks!
After a shopping run to the infamous Ron Jon's Surf Shop to buy cool stuff for the boys, who don't surf, we were back on the road to S
avannah!
