Greetings from Conway, SC,

Just wanted to let those of you who are not in a big hurry to head south
this winter that Conway, SC is a wonderful stop and a BEAUTIFUL trip up the
Waccamaw River.  Conway is located about 12 miles up the Waccamaw River,  head up
the river where it leaves the ICW.  Life's2Short runs about 8mph,  and between
our "speed" and the no-wake areas on the river it took us a little  over 2
hours to get up here.  Our charts were only good for the first 6  miles of the
river, however the river is well marked and we never saw less  than 8' (at low
tide) the entire trip.  As an added bonus the 2 free 40'  floating docks at
the Riverwalk now have 30 & 50 amp power, for  FREE!!  The docks are located
just below the bridge on your port  side.  The town is very friendly and offers a
number of places to drink,  dine, & shop.  Life's2Short tips their hat to the
City of Conway for  having such a nice place for cruisers to visit, keep up
the great  work!

Try the Gouda & Bacon Spinach Cakes @ Berni's, they are to die  for!!!

I made this same recommendation about 2 years ago in this list. I'm glad to
see that Conway has gotten even better with the addition of real power. When
we were there, I was able to find 15 amp at the base of a lamppole along the
Riverwalk.

I place Conway as a better stop along the ICW in SC than MB, Georgetown or
Beaufort, but not Charleston.
