Alarms went off at 5:45 a.m. so we could make the early bridge opening before commuter traffic closed it down until 9 a.m. The current was screaming through the marina. There was another sailboat about 10 ft. behind our dinghy. Wayne pushed off our stern and pulled in our bow to help us fight the current. That helped us and gave him a little more room to get Bum's Rest out. The current was pushing us sideways so Chuck had to give it throttle to get it out of the slip.The bridge opened at 6:40 a.m. and we made it through.
It was a sunny and warm day. We went 40 miles from M536 to 496.7.
We saw two dredging projects underway and passed on the side with two diamonds, indicating that was the safe side. Two circles means it's the danger side.
We arrived at Steamboat Creek anchorage at 12:30 p.m. It's 82 degrees here and sunny. I'm loving every minute of it.
It's Patti's turn to cook and the wind is whipping, so we put the motor on the dinghy.
Tomorrow we're going to Patriot's Point in Charleston, S.C. Bum's Rest is going to the City Marina, where we stayed on the way down. We'll meet up the next morning on the ICW.
