Sunday, August 8, 2010 – Port Royal, Battery Creek, Mile 541.7, S Carolina ICW




We left our anchorage at Moon River at 8 am and sailed into another warm and sunny day. The breeze was out of the northeast and later out of the east, so it wasn’t much help as we snaked our way through the ICW in South Carolina. We passed by Hilton Head and saw a lot of activity on the water on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon. When we were out in the middle of Port Royal Sound, Gale decided that he needed to go for a swim. The current was pretty strong so we put out a line for him to make sure he didn't float away. After he cooled off, we were on our way again in no time at all.




At 6 pm we dropped the hook in a quiet anchorage at mile 541.7 near the town of Port Royal in Battery Creek. There were three other sailboats moored there and we could smell the aromas of dinner cooking at the restaurant on shore. We enjoyed the evening at anchor and were blessed with a nice breeze to sleep by.
