St. Johns to Isle of Palms, NC

Today:          16 miles         4.7 hours          ICW St M “456.8”
Total:       2333 miles     313.7 hours

Today was another short day so we had the luxury to wait for slack tide before leaving.  We are only going over to Isle of Palms Marina.  This way we do not have to worry about the commuter closings of the Wapoo Creek or the Ben Sawyer Bridges. This also cuts the long day’s travel to Georgetown by 4 hours.  Even though it is light longer this time of year, docking is always better in sunlight.
     It turned out to be a good decision.  The Ben Sawyer had problems and we had to wait a good 40 minutes for the repairs. Then further up, we waited and /or slowed for the 2 dredges being maneuvered into place.
