CODA : Heading north. Exploring South Carolina continues.
5 April 2025
Awendaw Creek anchorage, Awendaw, South Carolina
Small Cruise ship docked at Charleston Mega-Dock.
Marc- We started off from Church Creek at 08:30 and anchored at 16:40 in quiet Awendaw Creek. The winds continue to be favorable from the southeast and south 15 to 20 knots. Currents were a mixed bag depending on the section of waterway we were in. We stopped at the St. John's Yacht Harbor to refuel and refill our water tanks. It was easy in and easy out of the fuel dock with the help of capable staff.
In and around Charleston we were delayed by two drawbridges when our arrival did not sync up with the bridge opening times. We were only delayed a total of 45 minutes. The highlight was seeing just passing through the exciting City of Charleston. There is constant motion of tugboats, freighters, pilot boats, cruise ships, helicopters, sailboats, powerboats and even kayaks. The long coastal stretch of the ICW once past Charleston Harbor was a downwind dream.
It takes many boats to fill a harbor.
Picturesque Charleston.
