Anchor up at 7am. The rain that we eluded the day before caught up with us today and we had rain showers off and on throughout the day. It wasn't too bad and gave s/v Honey Ryder a much needed wash down. She had a fine layer of bridge dust from the big bridge in Charleston. No lie. The locals in the marina there call it "bridge dust."

Fenwick Island - inside joke!

| Cut through Fenwick -allowed it for the $$ no doubt! |
There are some really nice houses on the ICW. This might be a new way for appraiser Tom to do his drive by appraisals.
We made the noon opening at the Ladies Island swing bridge in Beaufort SC.

| It took a while for it to swing completely open |
Green on the starboard side? When heading south on the ICW? Beaufort River/Port Royal - yes but look closely. Can you see it? The little yellow sticker with the triangle shape. yeah.....I couldn't see it either until Tom spotted it through the bi-knocks.

| see the little yellow ICW sticker? |
Maybe our RV friends (Peterson's, King's, Hunsinger's) should check this spot out. It looked pretty kewl. Maybe we can meet them there on s/v Honey Ryder sometime.

| Good motor coach destination |
Locked (ie gated harbor) at Hilton Head. The AIS went crazy with some of the big yachts hidden inside there. Whatever. As if tides and currents aren't enough. How in the world would one deal with a gate/lock? I know, there is a lock/gate person but it all seems like a lot of hassle.

| Gated Marina????? |
Iconic Hilton Head lighthouse.

Anchor down at 5:50 at st mile #565 - Bull Creek, a quiet little creek (but deeper than most) not far from the above light house. 49.5 nm total today. We got the anchor set and were just relaxing when some small thunderstorms moved through. Nothing too bad however I did put as many of our electronics as I could possibly manage in the oven because of the lightening. *Does that even work? But the Tstroms skirted by us and we only had sprinkle and some cooler wind.

Dinner was Sabrina's Lazy Chicken Cordon Bleu over rice w/broccoli.
