Left Charleston Harbor, 9 AM, passed Shutes Folly to starboard
and had to duck out of the channel to avoid a container ship and scoot across the
channel to avoid another one. Wind strong on nose. Past Mt. Pleasant to the
west, crossed Dawes Creek, passing through more beautiful salt water marsh, past
Caper Island to the east, Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge, Bulls Bay and past last fall’s anchorage
on Awendaw Creek.
Pasted McClellanville, and finally anchored on South Santee
River Mile 420 ICW after a forty-four mile run. Our old friend Dyad was already
there and soon after our arrival the French Canadian Cap Jaseax showed up, along
with another French Canadian sailboat. Weather predictions call for sustained
winds 20-30 with gusts to 47. Hope the anchor holds.
Sweet Dreams
