Isle of Palms to Georgetown, NC

Today:          55 miles         8.0 hours          ICW St M “402.9”
Total:       2388 miles     321.7 hours

We made the trip from Isle of Palms to Georgetown in sunshine,with cool temps, nice, but "noserly" breezes, and against the current all but the last 90 mins! We also came through McClellenville at dead low, with the lowest water at 0.9 inches under the keel.  I was even photo bombed by a turtle!

       

    We saw the usual sea birds, a number of dolphins, and a number of fish that jumped.  As we were motoring, we heard birds real close. . .and they stayed close for over 2 miles! When we looked up, 4 starlings were fighting for spots on our TV antenna atop the mast AND the space between our radar and satellite dish!  But that wasn't the highlight! What looks deceptively like a stick was actually a moving Alligator! (sorry I only had the cell phone handy!) The current was against us for all but the last 90 minutes, which probably added another hour to our day

En route to Georgetown ~ Territorial birds, beautiful scenery and a log that was actually a gator!
