Charleston to B & B Seafood, SC

BLUE skies above!! We didn't have signal last night to write, but we did have TV and watched the monumental change to our country (Dan hopes)! We spent a gray, brisk, windy day winding through the marshes of SC, never knowing when the currents would be with us or against us. We had a blustery NW wind behind us, so we were able to roll out the jib and enjoy a boost. We did have to jibe several times as our path wasn't very straight! We decided to go off the ICW track at Mile 513 and headed up the Ashepoo River to Mosquito Creek where we tied up to the B&B Seafood's ($25/night) floating dock. We were joined by a Nonsuch 30 from Hamilton, ONT who invited us over for drinks. We both had gone up to the small shack at the head of the dock where we bought a pound of FRESH shrimp. The shrimp boat tied to the pier had just returned at 2PM. We had a delicious shrimp dish from my favorite cookbook, FEAST AFLOAT. I was actually speaking metaphorically at the beginning of this post, it is actually very gray and misting heavily as we head off on our way to Hilton Head Island. ~~~(\_~~~D&M

Sunpenny (a Gulfstar 44) and pelicans escorted us out of Charleston on
our way to a 9:00 bridge as we headed south.

This short cut created a U-turn as we wound our way through the marshes.

Our home for the night.
