We got away from Savannah a little later than we intended, after enjoying a wonderful Easter Service at our home church, Compassion Christian and having lunch with Clint, Mali, and Stella. They brought us to Morningstar Marina for the official send off.
Our progress was a little delayed at Fields Cut just after getting into South Carolina because we saw 2 boats sitting on shoals at low tide. After watching for an hour, dead low tide was on us, so I made the decision to attempt to creep by them, since water was only going to be rising, right? As we approached, even with my rookie navigator eyes, I saw they had approached the markers from the wrong side. We slipped by them (by maybe 30 feet) and never touched bottom. Got lucky. Hopefully, we didn’t use all that up on the first day.
We stopped in Skull Creek not too far North of Hilton Head where the RBC Heritage was just wrapping up. Being our first night out on anchor, we learned the boat makes LOTS of noises. Haunted houses are much more comfortable. Little sleep on our first night out. But it was a beautiful night, with a gorgeous sunset.
