CT to FL Day 32
Fenwick Island, SC to Burnside, GA
I overslept this morning... alarm was set for 0600 and I thought I hit snooze... instead I hit alarm off... woke at 0700... oh well not that bad...
Being at anchor getting underway is a little faster than getting off the dock so we were underway at 0730... 20 knot plus winds and rain... YUK!
Winds were forecast to taper off by mid-day... which they did and the rain stopped shortly after we departed...so was not that bad of a day... only needed some sunshine and would of been great!
Coolest thing today was meeting the American Cruise Lines Ship "American Independence" at Skidaway Narrow Bridge on the ICW south of Isle of Hope... it's a big boat or rather ship to meet and pass on a narrow stretch of the ICW.
We arrived to our location for the night at Possum Point on the Vernon River at 1815 and were securely anchored at 1830... N31°55.626', W081°06.774’. We traveled today for 11 hours covering 73.7 nautical miles averaging 6.7 knots. Posted at 7:14 PM
CT to FL Day 31
McClellanville, SC to Fenwick Island, SC
We left McClellanville this morning at 0700... very gloomy and rainy morning... forecast was for rain all day.....
Surprisingly we had very little rain and the sun actually came out a little while just north of Charleston... but it was cold all day... left with temps in the upper 30's and it never got over 40° all day.
Had zero boat traffic today we were cruising all alone... did not even see any boats on AIS...
We arrived to our location for the night at Fenwick Island 1730 and were securely anchored in the Ashepoo River at 1745... N32°32.205', W080°25.224’. We traveled today for 10.75 hours covering 70.8 nautical miles averaging 6.6 knots. Posted at 6:04 PM
CT to FL Day 30
North Myrtle Beach, SC to McClellanville, SC
Well.... we had no issues with docking overnight at Barefoot Landing docks... no middle of the night wake up knock on the door... earlier I did notice a security patrol in a golf cart stop beside us and take a photo... but we slept peacefully all night and were back underway at 0700.
Weather forecast was for rain today but lucky we saw very little and not very heavy rain... cloudy and COLD all day barely reaching 40° mid afternoon... so generator ran all day for heat in the boat...
We saw a bit of boat traffic today... couple of boats being delivered and we had one trawler behind us most of the day.... they stopped and anchored just south of Georgetown in Mimic Creek... they had spent the night on the barefoot landing docks on the opposite end form where we were.... so I don't think it's an issue staying overnight there.
We arrived to our location for the night at Leeland Marina at 1545 and were secure with power at 1600...N33°04.981', W079°27.752’. We traveled today for 9.0 hours covering 66.8 nautical miles averaging 7.4 knots. Posted at 4:52 PM
