We are now in true South Carolina Low Country. Crisscrossed by
small rivers and creeks, marsh grass extends to the horizon with an occasional
fly bridge, mast or small dock house. Our first bridge was the Limehouse Bridge,
a new high bridge. After the bridge the waterway narrows but is well-marked and
deep. We crossed a deep bend allowing some power boats to pass us starting the trek
down Wadmalaw River, passing Stevens Towing Shipyard. This large facility had
several Army landing craft utility ships at dock and one on shore.
There were two cuts to go through, narrow and shallow with the
tide still low and then out to open water again. All in all
an uneventful day - we found a good spot with lots of water to
anchor, in front of Coosaw Island. It was calm, peaceful, loons
calling, far from the channel so no wakes. I quickly made mac and cheese with
smoked sausage and we tried to hunker in and stay warm. When the sun went down
so did the heat.

There was a brush fire on shore, the cloud created by it
hovered on the horizon most of the day. |
