Day 1 – 4 bridges. 52 miles. We decided to go 10 miles farther than we’d planned today. We are anchored in the South Santee River for the night. There is one other sloop a couple hundred feet away, which is odd since we only passed one other sailboat all day.
This is a really beautiful spot; surrounded by nature preserve on all sides. AND we, surprisingly, have two bars of cell signal!
We saw much of South Carolina’s marshy Low Country today. I logged many birds through binoculars. A Great Day!!!
A far-away view of Charleston waterfront from the harbor…
We celebrated Day 1 after we anchored with a glass of bubbles.
This is what a 63′ mast looks like when it passes under a 65′ bridge. Whoa, Nellie! This is why we have to time our arrival at bridges to be when it is NOT high tide.
It’s beautiful here at our anchorage…
Sunset!
