We left Duplin River this morning at 0730 in the fog… not bad had 3/4-mile visibility… winds were less than 5 knots… would have been nice to have been a sunny day but we knew it was going to be gloomy… the fog was a surprise… fog slowly disappeared and by 1000 was pretty much non-existent.

AIS showed we had one of the same boats we trailed yesterday just ahead of us a couple of miles and a new one we had not seen before “Eye of the Storm”…. Don’t think I would have named my boat that, but it was a nice boat… 49 ft Krogan Whaleback… the Krogan stopped at noon just north of Kilkenny Creek in Buckhead Creek… the other boat “Vignette” stopped at a marina in Thunderbolt… they were out on the dock waving to us as we passed them… Had a few boats pass us that we had seen the day before passing us… not sure how they run so fast and end up passing us each day…

Another weather system forecast to hit us tonight around 2000 per radar forecast… looks lie a nasty system… there is a tornado watch issued till 2300.

We arrived at the Hilton Head area at approximately 1715… we had decided to anchor in Bull Creek just north of Dufuskie Island… At approximately 1730 we were secure at anchor in 15 feet of water with lots of chain out for the weather we are supposed to get tonight. Our position for the night is N32°09.579’, W080°51.089'. We traveled today for 10.0 hours covering 73.6 nautical miles averaging 7.4 knots.
