Well. no pictures today, but wanted to do an update. We finally cast off the lines at Skull Creek Marina on Thursday around 10 AM, and motored to Morgan Island in the St. Helena sound north of Beaufort and Hilton Head. We anchored in the Morgan Back Creek. A boat stopped by to tell us the federal gov't had a program where they were introducing monkeys to one of the islands, but we decided not to lower the dinghy and go exploring as it was too close to dark... an interesting visit for another time.
We left early Friday AM and sailed outside to Charleston. Winds were good for about 5-6 hours, and sailing was relaxing. We did have to do some motoring towards the late afternoon which was bumpy. We went into the ICW behind Ft Moultrie and were planning to anchor near Isle of Palms, but it was too shallow so we went on to Deewees Creek. It was an interesting place watching the ferry, the seados, fishing boats,and parasailors. There were lots of least terns diving all around us too.
We took the ICW north in the AM. stopping at Minum Creek overnight. Had two wicked thunder storms during the night but we were cosy and dry and safe inside. Today we came on to Georgetown and are tied up at Hazzard Marina so we can catch up with our lives and pay some bills.
Will maybe sail up the outside to Wilmington or Southport tomorrow or Tuesday depending on the winds. Feels great to be going again. Thanks for all your emails and support as we continue our adventures.
