I had trouble sleeping last night. Went to bed later than normal (10:30pm vs. 7
or 8) but woke up at 5 and was up making coffee at 5:30. Fortunately, Dan is an early riser and didn't
mind being awaken. Soon, Captain Phil
was up and dashed the plan of leaving at 10 (waiting for a favorable current)
and, instead opted for weighing anchor ASAP to get out of the very narrow canal
we had anchored in the night before. So,
we left the Hilton Head area before 7am.
We motored up the ICW all day and made just under 50 miles before
dropping anchor somewhere in the middle of no where (Raccoon Island) about 30
miles south of Charleston. It was a
beautiful, sunny day with little wind until about 2pm when an East wind around
10 knots came in. Tomorrow night we
will be staying at a nice marina on the South side of Old Charleston.
