We’re up at 0500 expecting to get underway at first light, but fog has set in and our departure is delayed. It was just as well because our anchor line had wrapped around the keel during the tide/current change overnight. I somehow got lucky and spun the wrap free by swinging the boat around . It only took about 20 minutes to clear the wrap. Once the line was clear, I hoisted the anchor and proceeded slowly out of the creek. When the others caught up, we picked up the pace and headed toward Beaufort. We cleared the Ladies Island Bridge around noon and then stopped at the Downtown Marina for fuel and slips for the night. The current was strong and docking was tricky.
Everyone hit the showers and then we all went to lunch at Luther’s Rx restaurant about 1400. It’s a warm day and we eat al fresco. It feels good to just sit in the sun. It’s a glorious day.
After lunch, Donna and Judy took the courtesy car to the grocery store. I worked on the boat and started doing the laundry.
It’s 2045 and I’m falling asleep as I make this entry. Time for bed. Walter wants to leave at 0630. Goodnight world!
Location: Beaufort, SC (pronounced Bewfort) ICW MM 536. Today’s progress: 20 Statute Miles
