this bridge Wappoo Creek Bridge, does not open until 9am every morning … so we had to miss about 2.5 hours of tide with us .. it is only 1/2 mile from our anchorage .. when about 10 other boats and us arrived the currant was about 3 knots and everyone circled and backed up and did what ever they had to do, to not get too close to the bridge
lots of military aircraft circling over head
we are passing thru an area that is very run down, a floating dock is missing here
this guy slowed once he saw we were taking his picture, but it was one of the worst wakes we have had so far, everything flew down below … for the next 3/4 hour we heard boaters telling this powerboat to slow down .. he did not
8.25 hours and 41 nm …. 1 lift bridge and 2 fixed … and for the last 2 hours we had the currant against us, but with the foresail out and the wind to the beam we managed to do 4.5 knots …. the wind blew all night, and with the wind generator going it kept our battery bank full
we are in the middle of the swamp again, and this is what I have to do sometimes to get 3G, on our i-pad … sit outside at the mast … note anchor light on above me … off to Beaufort, S.C.
