Weather: Sunny and calm; wind picked up in the afternoon;
Comment: We very much enjoyed the anchorage at Enterprise Landing and the beautiful weather. We spent a relaxing day and managed to get most of our boat chores completed.
At 1030 hours, we raised the anchor and headed for Osprey Marina. SUNSHINE will remain tied up to the dock at Osprey for about 2 months. Anna Marie and I will fly home tomorrow. Two friends and I will return SUNSHINE after Memorial Day for the trip home to Barnegat Bay.
So, I guess the trip is over... for now. I'll update the blog with additional information in a day or two.
Sunshine almost always makes me high! (John Denver)

Comment: After yesterday’s long day, we only have twenty-two miles to travel today. We anchored in the Oxbow at Enterprise Landing. With bright sunshine and the birds chirping in the Cypress Swamp, it is a gorgeous day.
A Wacamaw River Cruiser
We are tending to cleaning chores and final preparations to put the boat up at Osprey Marina tomorrow. We will fly home for Easter. I plan to return to SUNSHINE with two friends on May 28 when we will bring her home for the summer.
During our travel t
oday, we passed a tug towing two dredges, several barges, and long lengths of pipeline. The tow was ¼ mile long as measured by the GPS! Check the pictures in the April 2009 folder.

Charleston to the Wacamaw River (Day 176)
From: Charleston City Marina, Charleston, SC MM 469.3
To: Butler Island, in the Wacamaw River, 7 miles north of Georgetown, SC, MM 396.0
L/L: 33 25 66N 79 12 30W
Distance Traveled: 72.1
Elapsed Time: 11.4 hrs
Average Speed: 6.3 mph
Weather: Bright sun all day; wind started out of the north @ 5 to 10 knots and backed to southwest by mid-afternoon ; temp range 41 degrees at wake up time, and 62 to 73 in the bubble
Comment: Our target destination for the day is a modest 50 miles to Minim Creek. The weather forecast (actually the wind forecast) caused us to change our target to Butler Island. It seems that the wind prediction now called for 15 to 20 knots with gusts to 25 for this evening. Our anchoring options included only the fairly exposed South Santee River and Minim Creek, both which offer no protection from the wind and both of which have very strong currents. The combination of opposing wind and current is not something we want to deal with tonight.
We could change our destination to Butler Island on the Wacamaw River, but only if the currents were favorable. As luck would have it, they were… mostly. We also enjoyed good wind for motor-sailing. We approached Minim Creek at about 1630 hours and decided to press on. We arrived at Butler Island, after a quick motor-sail up Winyah Bay, at 1830 hours and by 1845, we had the anchor set, the motors up and were relaxing in the cockpit.
Joining us in the anchorage were a trawler and two sailboats. One of the sailboats was Northern Rebel, with our friend Logan aboard. Logan is the young man we watched the kids awards while in Jacksonville Beach. The other sailboat left Charleston City Marina sometime after us. He made it to Winyah Bay and the anchorage by way of the ocean.

Sunrise from Church Creek
Weather: Clear and sunny in the morning, overcast in the afternoon, showers in the evening; Temp range 54 to 80; wind calm to W 25+ knots in the evening and overnight
Comment: We awoke to a beautiful morning. Underway by 0730 hours, we motored up the waterway in bright sun and calm, very calm, water. We hit Elliot’s cut at max ebb. (FYI to my sailing friends: the water in Elliot’s cut ebbs to the east and floods to the west. North bound cruisers should hit it on ebb current and when south bound, you want to hit it on a flood current).
We tied up on the inside of the megadock at the Charleston City Marina. We are expecting strong west wind. Being on the inside, the wind will push us off the dock, not into it.
Amazingly, we saw the little sea pearl that I mentioned a few posts ago. When we last saw the little camp cruiser, it was anchored on the other side of the waterway from our anchorage in Skull Creek. Since we did 67 miles yesterday, and 20 today, we thought we’d be way ahead. As it turns out, we were only hours ahead. We are amazed at the speed this little cruiser travels.
The Wapoo Bascule Bridge Captain was most gracious to us. She saw us coming and radioed to ask us to “step on it.” If we could get to the bridge in two minutes, we’d make the opening. If not, we’d have to wait a half hour for the next opening. We had already put the pedal to the medal, but goosed it up a bit more. The GPS indicated that we’d be about five minutes late. There were already two sailboats waiting for passage through. The bridge tender opened the bridge about two minutes late to accommodate our arrival. We thanked her profusely!

FOUL! (Day 172)
From: Skull Creek Anchorage, Hilton Head, SC MM 553.8
To: Church Creek Anchorage (18 miles south of Charleston, SC) MM 488.2
L/L: 32 42 49N 80 10 66W
Distance Traveled: 67.2
Elapsed Time: 12:00
Average Speed: 5.6 mph
Paris Island - Go Marines!
Weather: Bright sun all day, the solar panels set a record 75 amp hours collected; wind 5 to 10 knots clocking from north in the morning to SE in the afternoon; temp range 54 to 81
Comment: FOUL! With the exception of the first and last three hours, we motored into a FOUL current! That’s eight hours of foul current. When I say foul, I mean foul! They ranged from 1.0 to 1.5 knots against us. Needless to say, it was slow going.
Laser Regatta - Beaufort River opposite Port Royal
Speaking of slow, we heard the trawler “Adios” on the radio. From the gist of their conversation with another vessel, we deduced that they were ten miles behind them. We relinquished the “slow boat” award back to them. Recall that as we were on the way to Vero Beach a few days ago, they radioed to tell us that they were surprised to fine a boat traveling slower than they. Well “Adios,” we’re ahead of you… whose feeling slow now?
We saw another bald eagle today. It was perched atop some driftwood on the edge of the Dawhoo River. We are amazed at the number of Bald Eagle sightings we have seen on this trip.
We had a strange encounter with a tug boat today. The tug “Sun Trader” was pushing a barge headed southbound and as you should know, we were northbound. It was a simple port to port passing situation as we entered the Wadmalaw River from the North Edisto River. He of course was doing the opposite. The pass went without a hitch. Seconds later, the tug and barge did a 180 degree turn and followed right behind us.
Passing another one of those ICW cruise ships
I scooted over to the starboard side of the channel and he followed. I moved over to the port side of the channel and he followed again. When he was about two hundred feet astern, Anna Marie radioed the captain to inquire about his intentions. By the time he responded, he was just 100 feet off our stern and closing fast. The captain told Anna Marie that he was going to the depot just around the bend and that we should hold our course. He wouldn’t get any closer.
Suddenly, he veered to port and passed within fifty feet of us. It wasn’t close, but his lack of communication was nerve wracking.
Sunset from Church Creek
After twelve hours, we had the anchor down in Church Creek, about 18 miles south of Charleston, SC, our destination for tomorrow. It’s going to blow 25 to 30 knots on Monday and Tuesday, so we decided to tie up to a dock and wait it out.

Hello Sunshine! (Day 171)
From: Delegal Creek Marina, Skidaway Island, GA MM 601.0
To: Skull Creek Anchorage, Hilton Head, SC MM 553.8
L/L: 32 14 63N 80 4 81W
Distance Traveled: 48.0
Hours Underway: 7.75
Average Speed: 6.4 mph
Weather: SUNNY! Temp range 70 to 81; wind out of the west @ 15 – 20 knots; moderate chop on the waterway
Comment: After making a few phone calls, we departed Delegal Marina at 0900. Sadly, the rain prevented us from really checking out this marina or the neighborhood. It was a good stop none-the-less. Thanks to Fran and Larry (Kallista) for the tip. They stayed at this marina on their way home last year and we remembered that they had nice things to say about it.
The prediction for west wind @ 15 to 20 knots was right on. Fortunately, the wind was on our beam, port quarter stern most of the day. It pushed us along, and we didn’t even unroll the sail.
The container ship "Bigara" outbound on the Savannah River
Our only excitement came as we were about to transit the Savannah River. The container ship “Bigara” radioed that he was outbound and about to cross over the ICW. Interested traffic was invited to contact the captain. Rather than call on the VHF, we did an about face and watched the ship pass before we proceeded across the river.
We planned to use the Bull Creek anchorage again, but it was only 1500 hours and we had a favorable current (and wind). The decision to use the current and wind and clock to make an additional 12 miles was made. The anchor was down beside the Skull Creek Marina, where we saw another PDQ (Kokomo) anchor last fall.
Sunset from the Skull Creek Anchorage
As we monitored our position, Anna Marie noticed a Sea Pearl 21 anchor on the other side of Skull Creek. That boat was anchored near the shore at Bull Creek. Anna Marie believes it is the same boat she saw four days ago near our anchorage on the Brickhill River at Cumberland Island. If that is the same boat, he has come as far as us in the same amount of time, but in a much smaller boat. The Sea Pearl is a trailerable camp/cruiser.

Garbage Day (Day 170)

Hours Underway: 9.5
Average Speed: 5.0 mph
Weather: Rain and thunderstorms; wind direction variable and wind speed range from 5 – 20 knots, the temp reached 72 degrees at 1100 hours but by 1430, when we docked it was 63 degrees
Comment: The weather report for today and the next few days is not good. Thunderstorms are predicted again (we had them yesterday) and by Monday, the wind is supposed to be 20 – 25 knots, gusting to 35.
It rained during most of our travel today. As we were docking, a thunderstorm was over us. We docked in a heavy downpour.
The "Helminator" steering through the dreaded Hell's Gate
The highlight of the day was when Anna Marie volunteered to give me a break at the helm. Most of you know that she doesn’t like to steer the boat, so this was a little out of character. During her turn at the wheel, she steered us through Hell’s Gate. How do you like that? Anna Marie was only at the helm for a hour or so, before it was time to motor in the channel to the marina, but what a time to be at the helm!

April Fool (Day 169)
From: Jekyll Harbor Marina, Jekyll Island, GA MM 684.3
To: New Teakettle Creek, 3 miles north of Sapelo Island, GA MM 646.6
L/L: 31 27 10N 81 18 23W
Distance Traveled: 37.7
Hours Underway: 6.3
Average Speed: 6.0 mph
The Brunswick (GA) Bridge barely visible through the rain and fog
Weather: when it wasn’t raining, it was overcast; we finally saw the sun for a few minutes before sunset; temp range mid 50s to mid 60s; in the bubble it was in the high 60s and low 70s; winds were light and variable
Comment: After waking, we called for transportation to the Jekyll Island Club, our favorite breakfast spot. We enjoy breakfast in the elegant dinning room at the JIC.
At 1000 hours, we cast off from the dock at Jekyll Harbor Marina and pointed the bows north in a light rain. It continued to rain for several hours, heavy at times, but the winds were light and we had a favorable current for much of the day. Timing is everything, even when it involves dumb luck.
There was very little traffic on the waterway today. I didn't get a chance to try out the April Fool's joke on a passing motorboat because there were none. There wasn't much traffic on the VHF radio either. We heard a few pan-pans broadcast by the Coast Guard - Jacksonville Sector. The only real excitement, if you can call it that, was when we saw the American Spirit southbound in the Little Mud River. Our courses would have had us met at a bend in the river. I chose to hold our position until the ship negotiated the turn before proceeding. Anna Marie used the radio to tell the captain our intentions.
The American Spirit approaches
As the ship passed us, we noticed that two people were trying to get kites airborne from the top deck. They had no success. One lost his kite in the river. At the last possible moment, I saw the string as it trailed from the water to the top of the cruise ship. Hard to starboard! We don’t want that string to w
rap around the prop. Anna Marie hauled in over a hundred feet of kite string but was unable to land the kite. It was full of water and the string eventually broke. At least we kept it from fouling the propeller.
A one whistle pass with the American Spirit
We had the anchor down by 1630 hours in the New Teakettle Creek. We haven’t used this anchorage before. The water was 16 feet deep at low tide and there is almost an 8 foot tide range. We let out plenty of scope.
