Doing the Ditch

Yup, it has been since Yumsuch that we have headed south on the ICW, but we are doing it this year.  There is a stubborn low sitting off the northern coast of FL and it is causing a large swell all the way up to Charleston.  One of those things where the marine forecast looks perfect, but the buoy data shows a different story.  Seas over 5' from Charleston down and up to 8' near Jacksonville.

We are currently right near the Savannah River.  Still in SC in the New River.  It is just 2 miles from the Georgia border. Weather has been perfect, so we can't complain about motoring the ditch.

 First night on the hook, in Awendaw Creek, deserves a celebratory Walking Dead beer.  We got caught up on season 6 later that night.

  1. When building and outfitting goes slowly and it seems it will never be done. - Don't worry there is not one (boat) that remained ashore.

    And when you finally finish with the work you throw it all in the sea. Norbert
