FL to CT Day 16
Charleston, SC to Murrells Inlet, SC
We departed from Charleston City Marina at 0715... planned destination Wacca Wache Marina.
About 30 minutes out from the dock the starboard engine temperature started rising above normal... engine room check I found a blown cooling hose on the turbo... we continued on one engine Susan at the helm while I replaced the hose... we were back up to speed before reaching Isle of Palms.
The we spent the next six hours fighting current and running in shallow water... 5 to 6 feet deep...
When we reached the Georgetown area we did get into deep water and nice boost of speed form the flood tide that we rode all the way to Wacca Wache Marina.
We arrived to the Marina at approximately 1800... we were securely docked 1815... our position for the night N33°33.738', W079°05.178’. We traveled today for 11 hours covering 73.2 nautical miles averaging 6.7 knots.
