Up and at it first thing today; a little sunglow in the air; yet cool enough so that there was mist on the water; and, thankfully, so that the critters were not ready to feed on flesh. We rumbled by Charleston on a rising tide, turned the corner into the ICW by Isle of Palms & promptly slowed to a crawl. Small craft advisories, cold, & lots of wind removing the water from the channel, Our original goal was to get to McClellanville, SC, get fuel, ice, etc, explore the town for an hour or so, then move North a bit & anchor for the night. As it turned out, we didn't get to the McClellanville area until 3:30. We decided to back things around some & anchored in Five Fathom Creek instead. We'll be up early, get into town and do all that stuff; then run the rest of the day almost to North Carolina. That is, of course, if the wind, tide & weather cooperate. Interestingly enough, when we came thru here early this year, we anchored in the same area. It was cold, cloudy & very windy then as well.
Well. tomorrow is another day. I am sure it will be full of surprises and excitement. Until then, be safe.
