CT to FL Day 23
Georgetown, SC to St. Johns Island, SC

We left Georgetown at 0730 and headed south down the ICW bound for Charleston, SC.
We had current against us for a good part of the day but did have some short runs with a boost from the current.
We arrived to Isle of Palms just before Charleston at almost dead low tide. This is a bad area for shoaling and dredging is currently taking place. We had to call the dredge on the VHF to arrange for passage... very tight getting past him but we did fine.
We continued on after sunset to St. Johns Island and docked for the night at St. Johns Yacht Harbor. Our position tonight is
N32°45.236', W080°00.669'. We traveled today for 12 hours covering 614 nautical miles averaging 5.2 knots.
