Saturday, August 7, 2010 – Moon River, Mile 594.8, S Carolina ICW

We began our day at 8:15 am with a mostly cloudy sky, a temperature of 80°F and a SW breeze of 5-10 knots. The forecast called for increasing winds which sounded like a good sailing day. We decided to go on the “outside” for awhile and left the ICW at Doboy Sound. We cruised on the Atlantic for 18 miles, but the wind never picked up – in fact, it laid down completely! At least the skies were overcast and it didn’t feel as hot as usual.

We reentered the ICW at St. Catherine’s Inlet. Wouldn’t you know it, the wind picked up later in the afternoon to 15-18 knots out of the East! It was nearly 6 pm when we dropped anchor in Moon River. How romantic! It was a quiet anchorage with lovely homes along the waterway. We watched the dolphins play around the boat as the sun set on another terrific day.
