On the way to Myrtle Beach, SC

Behind a welcome center in North Carolina, on route 17, we found two sail boats with aluminum hulls. The owners were from France and said that this type of hull was not built in the US. They sailed across the Atlantic! They sail here in the summer and fly back to France for the winter, leaving the sailboats in Chesapeake bay.
We had planned to stay in the lot at Walmart on Marine st. in Jacksonville but it is one of 300 that don't permit it. So we drove on to Myrtle Beach, SC arriving at Briarcliff about 9:45pm. Note: Rt 17 is one of the best, smoothest roads and runs all the way down the coast.
The sites are nice and large with water, electric, sewer and 66 channels on cable. Wifi is $2/hr so we'll use Verizon.
Flying down the road at 55, I went back to make popcorn (listen to it pop).
Bruce's sister Paulette and her husband Tommy live in nearby Conway.  We all went to the Carolina Opry and a show called Good Vibrations which has songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Highly recommended.
