We have been moving everyday. There has not been time to dedicate to the blog. Planning each leg through these parts of the ICW is very time consuming, and challenging, but also very rewarding. Tide tables are dictating our every mile now. We have to stop moving "Chasseur" when the tide falls to mid-tide ebbing. Skull Creek was as far as we were willing to go with a falling tide and our 6.5 ft draft, only 17 nm from Beaufort. We crossed Port Royal Sound, a large body of water that takes you out to the Atlantic. It was windy, raining and cold, 17 nm for the day was enough.
Thursday was another short run because we had to be at a "staging" area for a rising tide that would take us through a very shallow area on Friday. We stopped in Bull Creek and anchored. SV "Mistress" joined us at this anchorage. We had happy hour on "Chasseur" and agreed upon "buddying" through the shallow transits ahead of us. We have been very pleased with our anchorages along the ICW and Bull Creek was no exception, another quiet night with a full moon rising up over the trees.
