The past few days we have spent traveling down the ICW, mostly uneventful but of course there are always shallows to navigate through. The first night out of Beaufort NC we stayed at a great anchorage called Topsail Sound where we experienced a few cells of thunder storms with strong winds and rain. The next evening we stopped early and stayed at the St. James Plantation Marina as the Noreaster was coming through. We continued to travel south and again stayed at a marina just south of Myrtle Beach as it was raining and really really cold! We were rewarded the next day with a beautiful trip down the Waccamaw River, one of the most lovely parts of the ICW that we have seen to date. If we are in this area again we will definitely anchor and spend some time there. As we continued south the next two nights we had some beautiful anchorages, first in the South Santee River and the second in Whiteside Creek. We enjoyed spectacular sunsets and quiet evenings. Today we had a short ride down to Charleston but this part of the ICW had the most severe shoaling to date and we had to go through several sections very very slowly. We made it safely and are currently docked at Charleston City Marina and are looking forward to spending time in one of our favorite cities for the next three days.
