Osprey Marina – Myrtle Beach, SC


Tuesday, May 31, and Wednesday, June 1, we made Osprey Marina in Myrtle Beach our home base. This marina reminded me of Kentucky. It’s tucked away in a country setting with flowers, pine trees, and rocking chairs on the porch. And supposedly alligators, although we never saw one. Just some hungry turtles. One evening we fed one turtle who stuck his head up by the boat, looking up at us. The next morning we had three turtles!

Anne and Mitch docked beside us, and invited us over for Italian dinner takeout on their boat. Really was fun – a great couple, so glad we met them.

There’s a lot of activity at this marina. Patrick met several fellow boaters – the guys are always on the dock exchanging stories about what else – boats.

Patrick was able to secure mechanics to work on the synchronizers. The hard part was finding a guy small enough to fit in the engine room. We miss Frank! It all worked out though. (Although Andrew says we got hosed on the price. What are you going to do.)

The reason we stumbled upon this marina – we needed to fly home, and this marina is ten minutes from the Myrtle Beach airport.

Here are some pics from Osprey Marina:

Do not feed the alligators!

Lots of live aboard sailboats here. A young couple with their pup lived on this one – Miracles.

Out on my walk I discovered a field of goats!

Got my dog fix! They remind me of Nica and Buddy.
And of course I fed the marina kitty!

  1. Oh Dear Ones! We appreciate your concerns but we really have no problem keeping up with your travelogue…….we all take turns and usually one of us has a special “feel” for your photos of the day and “speaks” out.
    Also, we are very sorry about mentioning the date! Two of us didn’t even notice that they were dated. Our fussy compadre! We’ll edit his remarks from now on….
    We don’t care about dates…….we love the photos and the accompanying descriptions……Forgiveness por favor??..
