As we secured SaSea Sally to the dock and connected the water hose and electric, Sally decided to wash the accumulated dishes. SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEM. The dishwater is green!!!

Wednesday
brought drizzle and mist with Arthur well-formed and heading our way. Locals
seemed to
continue to treat the approaching hurricane as a non-event, but
nonetheless I was apprehensive. I'd never planned to ride out a hurricane
onboard, and I doubt Clay had such itemized on his bucketlist either. (Dave,
don't wanna join ya in this category, thank you!) As our morning walk ended,
Clay decided he needed to mingle with the townsfolk for an Arthur update at the
popular downtown breakfast nook called Thomas Cafe. Nothing new to report (good
news!) must have heightened Clay's appetite; he certainly dined on a hearty
breakfast fare which is often lacking from SaSea's galley.
As
the storm tempered, we made a Wal-Mart/Food Lion run and returned to the marina
as skies cleared. The sun came out as we stowed our purchases and made plans
for dinner at Alfresco's, a cute little Italian dining spot downtown
Georgetown. Only as we were ready to depart did the Harborwalk Marina owner tell me that when a major hurricane is forecast, the marina must be evacuated!!! Then what do you do? "Just go up the river and tie to some trees on the bank"--right!
With Arthur now history, we made plans to depart Harborwalk
Marina on July 4th and cruise north toward Myrtle Beach.
