Nov. 5
We left Bucksport and headed south. The morning was cold and the windshield had fogged over. As we came down the River the ICW was in shadow from the trees on the east side. The Waccamaw River is a wildlife preserve and it is nice to have a river that is a mile wide and 30 feet deep in most spots. The only problem on the day was all the stink-potter gin palaces that wanted to pass on a plane and wake the hell out of us.
Georgetown South Carolina stunk as usual, I don't know what they make there but the factory stinks. We ran to the cut with a group of 5 boats as the day turned windier and colder.
We were planning on staying on South Edisto River but we pressed on and made Five fathom Creek just off the ICW south of Mcllellanville. We had the anchor down by 4:00 and settled down for a cold night. In the morning we plan to make Charleston and stay over through the weekend before moving on.
