We had a calm night and good anchorage at Sylvan's Shore (as noted on Active Captain) close to Wappoo Creek. We left anchorage at 9:15. We traveled Elliott Cut and Wappoo Creek at slack low tide. Much easier than the last time with a raging current.
We have not been on the ICW north of Charleston, which is a beautiful area, lots of houses, lots of boats, lots of crab pots! Traveling north, we passed beautiful marshes, not a lot of trees and we could see the beach waves occasionally over the marsh. (One of the pluses of sitting up high on the fly bridge.) We did find some shallows behind IOP area and north of Dewees, finding 1.3' under our keel. 😱
We had several anchor spots mapped out for the night but we kept traveling to the next ones as we had a favorable tide helping us along the way. We stopped in the South Santee River for the night finding a good spot after navigating through a crab-a-poolza mine field, discovering that we had indeed traveled over one and thankfully did not get it into our stabilizers or props.
