We made the mistake, while traveling north on the ICW, of passing through the Myrtle Beach section on a Sunday in April. It was awful. We are in a 36foot sailboat. There were many many jet skis buzzing past, swerving in and out. Power boats passing us very closely! It was the most dangerous part of our trip.
Susan Woods Bamonto don’t forget the over loaded boats and some towing people on tubes…and the day started so beautifully.
I'm not surprised the Myrtle Beach area ICW leads in boat crashes. We see all kinds of craziness whenever we travel through there and I have a photo that says it all.
