Finally made it into the water!! The water is warmer than any I have seen before, even Hawaii.
When we got to the beach the caution flags were flying. We had no idea why other than the fact that the surf was pretty strong. Upon entering the water to approximate waist deep, something with a fin protruding out of the water swam by about five to ten feet in front of me. I backed up to about knee deep and scanned the surface for about five minutes. There were no more sightings, so I went in without incident. Joyce opted to stay on the beach.
We spent about an hour at the beach, then returned to the RV park for lunch.
After lunch we returned to the main part of the beach area and checked out the shops. Everything is in some state of decay in this area, but this was probably the place to be 20 or 30 years ago.
The strangest thing here is the number of over the top miniature golf establishments. There must be at least 10 of them in a five mile stretch along the main highway thru Myrtle Beach. I refer to them as miniature golf on steroids. I tried to take pictures as we drove past them. Pictures are attached, but they don't do justice to the subject. They have mountains, waterfalls, African Safari themes, etc.
Anyway, tomorrow morning we head to Virginia, to continue our adventure.
