Winds picked up last night and remained strong this morning. We have a swing bridge 45nm ahead of us that won’t open when the wind exceeds 25 kts. since we need to pass through the bridge, we decide to wait here for the wind to die down. I received a text from my friend Cody, who was in Phoenix, AZ for a concert. He was available this coming week to help as crew and offered to fly in to meet us. We made arrangements for Cody to fly to Charleston on Sunday where we would plan to meet him. Around 2:00 pm the wind had weaken a little so we decided to pull up anchor and continue along the ICW towards Charleston. At 5:00 pm we pulled off the ICW onto Awendaw Creek and anchored for the night. This anchorage is part of the Cape Romain National Wildlife Refuge and is one of my favorite anchorages.
