Low Country Delight

We are anchored in Dewees creek which is smack in the low country of South Carolina. Nothing but marsh grasses in all directions. Little to no boat traffic once off the ICW.

We spent the day cleaning and organizing the many things we brought aboard 2 weeks ago. Takes time to find a home for everything but slowly our living space is improving.

It's a thankless yet necessary chore.

I called Charleston City MArina and asked to come in on Friday rather than Saturday. It took some hold time but they finally agreed.

Apparently the wait list is a myth. I was on it for the 27th through the 31st and they never called yet a friend of mine called yesterday and was given a reservation for the 31st!! Arrgh. Oh well seems to work out now.

We just need to decide how to enter there. Big winds coming Saturday and I went to be safely attached to the dock before that. I don't want to be maneuvering this ol yacht between a couple of Mega yachts and have the wind push me into one.. It would quickly exhaust my liability insurance.

I took a dinghy ride and some pictures. The current is horrendous here but the Rocna makes us proud.

Another sailboat came in and anchored with us today -- no problem -- lots of room here.

We expect some storms tonight but nice tomorrow so might go and anchor off the docks tomorrow or maybe wait till Friday and just head straight in.

Need to time the tides around the Ben Sawyer bridge though. Skinny water reported there.

Maybe some games tonight. LAst night was okay -- I won one of 3 Farkle and threatened a second. We still all had great fun.
