Made it to Georgetown, SC on Thursday
Another 70 statute miles covered in mostly great conditions. Chose the breeze (rolling away the bug screens) and insect repellent. Passed two operating dredges--great to see them! The currents were against us at between 2 and 3 kts almost all afternoon. Tidal ranges still over 5 feet. Maybe not the wisest idea to cover the most difficult parts of the ICW at full moon? Stayed at Georgetown Landing Marina (mile 402). Good help. Secure wifi. Facilities clean. Had to make two approaches before we could successfully dock as we had over 2 kts of current pushing us into the dock. Ken has become quite adept without the bow thruster. After Kilkenny, everything looks good. There was a very small cable ferry near here. Not much more than a metal platform that could hold a single car. Wonder who uses it.? The docks here no longer have signs about manatees (they have been very prominent up to here). Instead they warn about feeding or approaching alligators! Oh well, the signs in the parks across from our house in Denver warn about the very prominent coyotes.
We will fill up all fuel and water tanks and pump out then push for our last 225 miles.
