Nov. 6
It was very cold this morning. Kathleen made a quiche in the oven and it helped to warm things up in the salon and made it a little easier to get underway. After clearing the dew off the dodger and raising the anchor we were underway.
Last year as we came through this stretch of the ICW the water was barely 5.4 feet deep. Today , as it was high tide when we left the water was at least 9.0 feet
At Ben Sawyer bridge we ended up waiting an hour for the bridge opening and as we entered Charleston Harbor the wind piped up to 25 knot and there was a regatta taking place in the harbor so we had to dodge sail boat of all sizes and types as we made our way Through to the Ashley River anchorage.
As we were laying the anchor there was a guy 100 feet away who objected to where we were anchoring so we upped anchor and moved about 300 feet more and dropped the anchor in 15 feet of water. The holding was good and we plan to stay here over the weekend and leave Monday morning.
