Day 202: Safe Harbor Marina (Beaufort, SC) to Church Creek Anchorage at Mile Marker 488 (Wadmalaw Island, SC) 5/20/22

After fueling up and getting ice at the dock, we pushed off for our next adventure. Some new friends we met on “Knot R O’Ky Home”. We hope to see them in Charleston.

The drive was a bit tricky today. We need to leave at high tide because some of the ICW areas were low on depth. Some areas were as low as 5 feet but with high tide, we had an extra 6-7 feet. Kelly helped closely navigate using “Bob tracks” to guide us.  

The highlight of the day was watching all the military aircraft training. Several flew low and close to our boat….that is the loud sound of freedom! It was excited to watch them do their touch and go landings.

There was a speedboat race taking place today as well, it was super loud. Brings back memories when we would take our first boat to Lake Of the Ozarks in Missouri for the summer. We used to get waked by speed boats all the time. But now in our big 42ft we hardly rock at all from their wakes.

At 4 pm, we arrived at our anchorage – Church Creek Anchorage , mile marker 488. Jen made some bruschetta and we had leftover hamburgers for dinner from last night.  

BTW. We traveled 48.5 miles and 5.5 hours.
