T&T: Advise and recommendations

why do you feel you need help to run your boat?    it's nice to have some 
company but the ICW is pretty easy to run, sheltered, and with a smaller 
boat, your have many places where you can drop the hook if tired or want to 
take a break.  I've run most of it alone (with a 70 footer) it's no big 
deal.

as to docks, locals can probably point you in the rigth direction but just 
south of Myrtle Beach is Bucksport  Marina on the Waccamaw, they are pretty 
cheap. you may was to look at that.

In norfolk there are many marinas but again cost may not be cheap, maybe 
just south of newport in Great Bridge or even Coinjock. Coinjock is a 
transient place but they may have monthly deals.
