Since the last post, we have ventured past Myrtle Beach, Georgetown and Charleston, SC and are 30 or so miles north of Beaufort. Wednesday we traveled through the "Rock Pile" section where large unmovable rocks stick out at low tide, and we managed to hit it (no pun intended) at the right tides. Yesterday we logged 67 miles in under 10 hours and were exhausted. We had wind and currents with us and we just went for it. Never again! It was great getting that far, but was not worth the fatigue. So today we traveled only 49 miles to an anchorage on the South Edisto River. Tomorrow we head to Beaufort and a weeks mini vacation in Atlanta next week for Thanksgiving with the kids & grandkids.
This may be the next to the last posting with photos. So, enjoy and have a great weekend.

Dinghy finally where it belongs, instead of on deck in a sack!

Believe it or not, these are carrying golfers across the ICW to a course in Myrtle Beach!

Great pictures. Imagine the good times the plantation owners must have had many many years ago.
ReplyDeleteYou sure sailed a long way for one day. No wonder you were exhausted.
