Another sunny day!  And another!  But this one took awhile to get here.  It is easy to see now why they call this the Low Country.  Marsh grass as far as the eye can see.  Little creeks that wind their way to the ocean, or back on themselves and into another river or creek.  Very shallow water and lots of herons and egrets.  And - we see dolphins every day - a few always fishing in our anchorage, or along the route.  It is so cool!

We took off from Georgetown yesterday at noon and motored through narrow canals most of the way to Five Fathoms Creek.  We found a lovely spot just off the canal and dropped the hook at 4pm.  One of our shortest days so far.  We have decided to take our sweet time getting wherever it is we are going.  As we sat and enjoyed the afternoon and our evening meal, there was a parade of shrimp boats on their way in from the ocean.  Had to be at least eight boats before the night was over.  The last one after dark, all lit up and shining a spotlight on us to see what we were.  Check out this photo of one of the boats as it came into view above the marsh grass.  Any wonder how they come up with alien ideas?

This morning when we awakened at 4am (not because we were going anywhere - that just seems to be the deal these days) you could hear the dripping from the rigging - not rain - dew!  Very heavy dew!  We poked our heads into the cockpit around 7:30 and saw we were quite literally fogged in.  This was the view until about 11:30am.

Once this lifted, we were on our way again and motored along the same kind of canals, with marsh grass and mud flats.  Tonight we are in Whiteside Creek, less than 10 miles from Charleston.  It is a beauty of a spot.

By the way - a few folks have complained about the aqua reverse type color.  Rather than re-design the entire blog, I changed it to white.  Please let me  know if this is better or if it is still too difficult to read.  Thanks!
