11/29/15  Saturday

A gentle and short day of motoring south on the ICW. Left Charleston with some trepidation, I had trepidation. David suggested it was based on Thursday's experience which was...troubling. I think it had most to do with the fact that I don't know too much about anything south of Charleston, even on land. We're in new territory again. Also, I'm thinking cell/internet contact could be more sketchy...the out of touch anxiety.

However, this day has been extraordinary in the MOST positive way.

Fellow cruisers

Given our experience with falling tides, and our friends' experience, on Thanksgiving day we've decided to travel on rising to mid-falling tides, thus today we traveled only 2.5 hours, travelling through beautiful SC low country, and anchoring in the equally beautiful Church Creek.

Some stuff got done after we anchored...the laundry, for example, was hung out to dry, David fixed the anchor light and the AIS antenna, I made some screens for the aft cabin portholes...since we have BUGS in the warm South...mosquitos and no-see-ums...a little scraping the rails, etc.

Good day. Good night.
