April 24, 2011 - The weather was really holding out, rose to warm sunny conditions. In fact the first half hour of the trip we were opening the vinyl sides on the bridge. It was too stuffy and already in the 70's. Our plan today was to anchor in a spot that would give us a great vantage point to enter Charleston early in the morning.
Travelling in the morning we experienced low tide. The ICW travels through the South Carolina grass lands. There are channels where you definitely don't want to drift to the side because the water disappears. Our anchorage choice today was Church Creek, we had anchored here before and we were familiar with the area. Because of the humidity factor, afternoon thundershowers were in the forecast. So we planned to anchor with protection from the trees. We dropped the hook and enjoyed a quiet evening aboard. In the anchorage we watched and heard dolphins hunting around the Summer Wind. Enjoyed a lovely evening cuddling and watching a movie.
