The 30th did not amount to much, it was cold, rainy, generally best described as YUK. Rather than sit in Tom Point Creek & watch the banks go from muddy bank to flooded marsh, we elected to head further along the way. In the crew's words "Press on". That's what we did. Couldn't see a lot, at first, but it improved enough that we could see ahead enough to be safe. That's Tom Point Creek in the flooded stage. We rumbled along thru the Ashepoo-Coosaw cut, North Edisto river, Fenwick Cut, Parrot Creek, & finally, Bass Creek. Anchored here lat night,and braced for the forecast 30mph winds & 20 degree temps. They were right; that's exactly what we got. Being in an anchored boat with a 6mph current and 20 -30 mph winds in a pitch black night is a real treat. anyway the anchor held and we awoke to a gorgeou
s morning. Featured were an artic gale, crystal blue skies, scrambled eggs & sausage with Cinnamon/raisin muffins, and, while I recognize that is a bit hard to accept, topping it off was an 
up close & personal visit from Barney the local pelican. Visit over, dishes done, it was off to the next spot. Today's leg took us thru Beaufort, SC, down the Beaufort River (imagine that), thru Port Royal Sound, thru Skull Creek, past the land of the rich & famous, Hilton Head Island. We finally dropped the anchor in the muddy bottom of New River. we are now 575 statute miles into our journey down the AICW, and about 20 miles from the Georgia border. This was the sunset over Savannah, GA tonight, as seen from New River. God's color choices are surely amazing. Have a great week; we'll try to keep the posts going.
