Beaufort SC to New River SC

Start time and hours                      1130                                         3465.34                             MM 536
End time and hours                       1600                                         3470.06                             MM 570


     We slept in a little at Beaufort SC because of high winds in the morning.  We left around 1130 and headed about a mile down the river to the Port Royal Landing Marina for fuel and a pump out.  Easy in and out at their fuel dock, even with the currents.

     We cruised down the Beaufort River and crossed Port Royal Sound and the Chechessee River.  This brought us past Hilton Head Island and their amazing waterfront homes.  We also went by Harbour Town Marina and the distinctive red and white striped lighthouse.  You can see this lighthouse if you watch the Harbour Town golf tournament.  It is the backdrop to the eighteenth green.

     We continued down Calibogue Sound and into the Cooper River.  This brought us into Ramshorn Creek and our anchorage for the night in New River.

     We shared the anchorage with one other boat.  We both had plenty of swing room.   The winds died down and the water was calm.  I am not complaining but we again saw dolphin, pelicans, and Osprey as well as other birds. 

     We had cocktails and hors d’oeurve on the lido deck and then had a wonderful salmon dinner.  After dinner we watched the stars in the very dark night sky.

    


     The next morning the new start battery started up like a charm.
