We threw off the lines this morning before 7:30 and yes,
that was before “coffee:30” for me – but I persevered! We enjoyed Charleston and it was made even
better because we shared it with friends!
Our goal for the day was an anchorage south of Georgetown
but the weather and current was moving us right along at 9.0mph so we opted to
drop the hook in Georgetown SC. We were
told that Georgetown was a great stop – full of history and super nice folks!!

| What a beautiful home & location |
Apparently, many other people were told the same thing! The anchorage was VERY crowded but we dropped
the anchor in 2 different places. The
anchor held the first time BUT we were so close to several sailboats AND the
wind picked up! So we pulled up the claw
(anchor) and motored to a different spot.
The river bottom must have been Teflon coated because we couldn’t get
the anchor to hold (no matter how loudly I sang “the anchor holds”!). We took the hint so 1 hour after we departed
the ICW – we returned.
The town looked so inviting & I’m sorry I didn’t snap
some pictures from the bow of the boat.
I was very busy washing off the chain, anchor and deck – yuck!

Trivia stop!!
What is the oldest city in the USA? St. Augustine, FL BEEN THERE!!
What is the second oldest city in the USA? Darien, GA
BEEN THERE, TOO!!
So tonight after 75.2 miles, we are safely anchored at
Butler Island – with 4 other boats! It’s
a nice location but going ashore is discouraged due to the alligator
population. Duly noted!
Tomorrow we will motor on to Bucksport Plantation. We
planned to spend the night there but since we are now only 20 miles away we
will probably just stop for fuel, pump out and a brief visit. Stay tuned!
May your week be filled with happiness and kindness
God Bless!!
