Day 43, Monday, May 26, 2008
We’re up early and underway at 0710. We pass Beaufort City Marina and Ladies Island Swing bridge fighting the current as usual. It’s a long day of fighting current and only occasionally getting a boost from it. We finally reach Church’s Creek about 1715 and find four other boats already at anchor. We proceeded up the creek passing two boats and anchored just north of the second boat. The other two boats were north of us and were rafted together. It was a 52 mile day, took ten hours averaging only 5.1 mph with a max speed of 8.1 mph. The wind was blowing across the creek and I was concerned about our swing, but the wind died off after sunset leaving us head-up into the current. Current here was strong so I set an alarm to get up and monitor our swing after slack tide. The wind stayed down, we swung nicely with the current so I retired again.
Location: Chruch’s Creek anchorage at MM 488. Boat distance traveled, 52 miles. Time in actual transit, 10 hours. Top speed 8.1 mph, average speed 5.1 mph
