Awendaw Creek Anchorage, South Carolina: October 20, 2020
Marc- Today started with a delay in order to visit the Rice Museum in Georgetown. It was not to be since Covid 19 cancelled all visits. We still went to the local bakery and the Independent Seafood Market for the freshest crabmeat and salmon ever. Departure was at 11:00 and we had contrary currents for the next 4 hours. We were fortunate to have 9 knots of wind from the Northeast to help out. Our first excitement came when we approached the floating swing bridge in the Estherville-Minim Canal with trepidation. Fortunately the approach road was under 1 foot of water and the bridge could not operate. Shortly thereafter we approached a working dredging operation. It was well marked and we had no difficulties. We passed a second dredging operation a few miles later. Clearly there are troubles in this area at low tide. We passed through an area used for Rice cultivation. We anchored at 16:00 in Awendaw Creek in the pouring rain, setting two anchors because of the reversing currents. Tiny bugs swarmed all over us in the rain. As soon as we had finished anchoring and rafting up with Fiddler's Green, the rain stopped, the bugs disappeared and the sun came out. We grilled our seafood for dinner. Chef Michael did a wonderful job with the salmon and we made crab cakes from lump crab.
