Marc- We fueled up before departing Thunderbolt and although we seemed to be the last to leave the docks we ran into our sailing friends waiting for the highway bridge to open at 09:00. No issues crossing the Savannah River, various sounds and numerous creeks and cuts today. Hilton Head Island seemed to have more activity on the water than other areas. Hilton Head Island is developed as a vacation home retreat of sorts. We arrived at Beaufort and called for the highway bridge to open only to be told that if we missed the 16:00 opening we would need to wait two hours for the next opening. Fortunately the town has set up a very convenient free dock right off the downtown just below the bridge. We docked, mailed a letter, and waited. It was intimidating that we appeared to be pinned to the dock by wind and current. Luckily the tidal current changed at 15:45 making it a lot easier to depart the dock. Michael walked over the bridge to assist us but discovered that we were already out in the river waiting for the bridge to open. We arrived at Lady's Island Marina and were warmly greeted by the dock staff. This is a nice spot with a great seafood restaurant on the premises and a Publix supermarket and DQ nearby.
