The Low Country

After leaving Beaufort, we enjoyed one of our all time most calm nights at anchor. We were in Steamboat Creek off the N. Edisto River on the ICW. For once there was zero wind and the nearly full moon shining on the water added to the ambiance. There was a boat landing so I (Em) decided to try out the oars and rowed Ginger to shore. Going over was a snap but returning was a bit of a challenge with the tidal current, it probably took four times as long!

Low Country View: This boat really isn’t aground. This part of the ICW is just very flat and winding and you see some strange sights.

This was the sunset in Steamboat Creek; this sailboat was from St. Louis, MO. You can see smoke coming from a fire on shore that we'd seen all afternoon.

We left mid-morning heading for Charleston.
