WEdnesday Dec 3 leaving the fun place- Barefoot Landing



Wednesday Dec.3

Today we left at noon. We were waiting for the fog to clear and we wanted to take some more pictures. Y’know as often as I’ve been to Toronto, the Outlet malls in Barrie and Birch Run, I’ve never seen an outlet site like this one. 10 years ago when we came by, the alligator ponds were there and we walked around them, and there were a few tourist stores, but nothing like it is now.
It is well mapped out with sitting areas at each store, restaurants that are inside as well as out and theatres... not movie theatres...live theatres.

We ran down river [against the tide] and passed a barge coming up. It didn’t answer our hail and we couldn’t see anyone on board but it managed the curve in the river so somebody was steering...a kid joyriding?

We arrived at Osprey Marina, for fuel and decided to stay the night here, since it was already 4:30. The showers were awesome!! And they gave us a goodie bag with crackers, pepper jelly, honey buns, Tide &Bounce and shampoo and soap!  A great place to stop!

Tomorrow we will pass Georgetown SC and everything after that will be brand new because we skipped it all 10 years ago when we came up. We would like to be in Florida by the 16 of December. There is going to be a launch at Cape Canaveral!! I would LOVE to see it.  There is security zone around Charleston SC on the 5th and 6th as well because a new ship is being launched, so the ICW is closed for two days but we won’t be there that soon.

So enjoy the pics! Mostly big houses  and just cool stuff!
