01 April 2008 | Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge
Today we scooted through Elliot Cut with only 2 kts of adverse current, breezed by Charleston (no overheating this time!), and worked our way into the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge. We had a little breeze today and were able to do some motorsailing. We also rode the tide for over half of the day so we were able to make pretty good progress.
Murphy was in his usual withdrawal mode after leaving a marina. Guess he hates to lose instant shore access.
The marshes throughout this area are beautiful but unfortunately a little buggy. It's fine while you're traveling, but at dusk and dawn you can't dally and enjoy the view. We anchored in Five Fathoms Creek in site of the little shrimping village of McClellanville.
