Early Tuesday I checked the engine fluids and belts, plotted out a new route for proceeding north from Charleston, and this. The boat behind us thankfully left, but then a new boat came in, blocking our most obvious escape route again. One of our Amazon Prime packages was delayed so now we'll have to pick it up with the car in a week. When we were leaving a dockhand sprung our bow out nicely, but now we were headed back into the marina. We had to make a tight turn around, but we did it and back out we went.
We saw Fort Sumter (below) as we were crossing the bay. No shots were fired. We had a late start waiting for the Amazon delivery and such, so we didn't make it far that day, just to a nice little anchorage up Dewee's Creek. We cooked dinner off the back of the boat again.
The next day we made it to a lower Santee anchorage, finally really timing our movement by the tides, waiting to leave until it was at least two feet up, then stopping before there was only two feet left. Since we saw some two foot and change depths this kept us from running aground. Along the way we saw more wrecked boats, a pair of eagles in a nest along the ditch (I really need to get the SLR out), and a kids birthday party.
