Day 12 - Nov 7, 2013
Well, the plan for today went bust from the get-go. The plan was to start a little later, stop at an anchorage just before The Isle of Palms and be staged to arrive in Charleston early on Friday.

Instead, we got a much later than usual start. Next, I didn’t like the anchorage. It was one of those places with little or no protection from the wind and very, very deep. Getting to the anchorage I found 80 to 96 feet deep holes. Heck, that kind of depth is hard to find in the Chesapeake. The best spot I found still had 36 feet of water. Using sufficient scope would mean I would have more chain and rope out than the width of the creek. So I decided to continue on to Charleston.

We arrived and docked at the Ashley Marina at 1530 hrs. A couple of beers and chips and it was time for a nap. Tomorrow we’ll visit the town.
