After yesterdays visitor we half expected to see our pet on deck this morning. Fortunately neither he, or any  telltale signs of his visit, we're around.

We pulled our 60# CQR anchor out of the hard muddy bottom and were underway at 0724. We slipped past Isle of Hope & Thunderbolt making 5 knots on low RPM's with the tide with us. As we approached the Causton Bluff Bascule Bridge the tide shifted against us. We were now under the tidal influence of the Savannah River.

At 1153 we crossed into South Carolina in the stern wake of an 800+ foot container ship. It was making its way to the Port of Savannah and crossed the ICW just as we poked into the river. The ship had been invisible behind the tree lined bluffs that surround the river. Thankfully, we had been watching the ships progress with our AIS and adjusted our speed to stay our of the way.

At 1402, we dropped anchor in Bull Creek. This favorite and well protected anchorage is across from Daufuskie Island. It was shown to us many years  ago by friends Jim & Jeanne on Aurora.

Tomorrow, should be our last good traveling day until next week. We plan to stop at Lady's Island Marina to weather out the next cold front.

Fair Winds & Quiet Anchorages,
Jeff & Wendy
