June 6, 2020. From Georgetown to the Little River Inlet, the ICW is part of various river systems and was extremely flooded. The flooding happened within a few hours of heavy rain further west, and people did not have time to move out of their homes. The homes are low to the waterway and we could see that everything was still in many houses with 1-3' of water. We went as slow as possible to not make any wake, which was impossible. Once closer to Mrytle Beach there were hundreds of people on jet skis in this area, sort of crazy for the small river it is. Little River is part of an area called The Grand, which is the Mrytle Beach greater area. We stayed at Mrytle Beach Yacht Club. They had a small pool and we jumped in to cool down from the 95 degree/85% humidity day (not our kind of weather). Took a dinghy ride to town to try to eat, but the one place to tie up was a crazy packed biker bar with no social distances so we moved on. Ended up with a great dinner adjacent to the marina at Clarks, a wonderful seafood place. The next morning we got the cheapest fuel we'd had yet and headed out for another ocean run.
