Had to wait for mid tide at Isle of Palm (11 AM) before starting the trip to our next stop, Steamboat Creek anchorage, 40 miles south of Charleston due to shallow water around the Ben Sawyer Bridge. Finishing a book while enjoying the sunrise and coffee made for a fine morning. Weather was grand today, better than last night’s 40-degrees. We don’t like running a generator while anchored and sleeping so we enjoyed snuggling under plenty of blankets last evening, another fine activity. Warm weather today helped us enjoy the 35 minute ride through Charleston Harbor and following travels down Stono River. The country south of Charleston is beautiful, and we once we safely anchored we enjoyed a stunning sunset in Steamboat Creek. We stayed a second day, relaxing and enjoying the low country view. See pictures below.
At left, a lonely home, accessible only by water near Price Creek, SC.
Two homes below are on Elliot Cut, a short waterway connecting Charleston Harbor to the Stono River that continues the ICW waterway headed south.
Pictures below show our view of the Elliot Cut Bridge, a view of Charleston harbor with a massive cargo ship at anchor, the main city bridge, and pleasure boats siting at Patriots Point Resort in the Harbor. Finally, you see the sunset from BenjOllie at anchor. (Hover over picture and click CTRL twice to enlarge)
