Charleston SC

The decision was made to go to Charleston Maritime Center Marina because the weather forecast was for strong winds out of the NE and all the anchorages are out in the middle of no where in the marsh lands. Speaking of marsh lands, the trip today was beautiful, winding through the marshes of South Carolina where some of the marsh lands seem to go on forever. Birds were everywhere today by the hundreds feeding in our wake, sitting on docks, and hanging by September Song all day. Can you blame them, she is a beautiful ship. We met up with a dredge on the move north as we transited south through a narrow channel. I don't know how they navigate some of the narrow 90 degree turns on the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway) in this area. I guess that is the reason for a tug in front, one in the middle, and one on the end.


We met this train (dredge) moving north. Three tugs, two barges, and the dredge all tied together in a narrow channel

Beautiful marsh lands in South Carolina

Birds, birds, and more birds (don't poo on our boat)
