It was a beautiful sunny morning when we awoke in our slip at the marina. We had plans to meet a friend for lunch so we were up early to do the laundry, clean up the boat a bit and take showers. Our friend, Lisa Lewerke, arrived at the marina shortly before 11:30 am. Maureen met her in the parking lot and brought her back out to see
Blue Heron. Lisa is a dear friend of Jessica, our daughter, and we were eager to spend a little time with her. After showing off our home, we walked over to the restaurant next to the marina and enjoyed a nice lunch and a couple of beers (wine for Maureen). It was nice to catch up with her and learn that she and her 16-year old daughter, Mackenzie, were doing so well. We hope to be able to spend some more time with her on the return trip this fall.
After lunch it was time to cast off. The afternoon was
very hot but we were ready to move on. Since we didn’t get started until almost 2 pm, we cruised until 7 pm before anchoring in Awendaw Creek at mile 435.7 of the ICW. We were surrounded by water and marshland. The marsh looked like a huge prairie stretching out for miles around us. If it weren’t for the various cell phone and radio towers we could see in the distance, we would have thought we were in the middle of nowhere.
