October 15 headed out of Southport towards S.C. Stayed at the Grand Dunes Marina in Myrtle Beach SC the evening of the 15th - met up with another Pearson 35!
Traveled down to an anchorage in Duck Creek on the 16th- very nice anchorage - very calm!
On the 17th came into the Charleston area, but didn't make one of the bridges because of extreme low tides, so anchored in Inlet creek so we could make the next mornings opening for the Ben Sawyer Bridge.
On the 18th we made our way into Charleston, and back into the Stono River where we had a slip at the St. John's Yacht Harbor for a few days to visit with our daughter. We went sailing with her on the 19th, 20th, and 21st.
On the 24th we headed out, but we decided to slow down and enjoy things a bit more since we had lots of time before needing to be in Daytona. We overnighted on the hook in Bass Creek.
On the 25th we headed down to Beaufort SC where we stayed at the Lady's Island Marina. Provisioned and walked over to Beaufortt.
On Sunday the 27th, we headed out looking to get to Savannah. We made good time and took a slip at the Thunderbolt Marina where we stayed a day and borrowed the courtesy car to head into Savannah for a bit.
On 10/29 we headed out and anchored at the mouth of Dead Creek
On October 30th we arrived at Blackbeards Island where we anchored in Blackbeard Creek. We went exploring down the back creeks and unto Blackbeards Island - now a national wildlife preserve on October 31st.
November 1st we started our first leg to Jekyll Island - we had reservations for a slip on the 2nd, so we stopped and anchored on the southern end of the Frederica River.
November 2nd - we travelled to Jekyll Island where we stayed until the morning of the 5th.
November 5th - Traveled to Cumberland National Seahore - had a rough time going through St. Andrew’s sound - should have taken the western (alternate) route. We did take the dinghy in to the island on one day to walk to the beach and see the sights (11/7)
On 11/8 we headed over to St. Mary’s where we got a slip at the intercoastal marina - which seems to be pretty new.
