We left Charleston Harbor Marina at 8:30 am. The weather forecast predicted 4′ – 5′ seas offshore so we continue South along the calm ICW. We have one bascule Bridge and three fixed Bridges to pass through today. We make it through all the bridges with no problems but we arrive at the Ashepoo Coosaw Land-cut about two hours before low tide and saw 5′ on our depth gauge as we passed through. With our 4′ 9″ draft, we just made it, passing through a half hour later would have hung us up for sure. We arrived at the small anchorage on Brickyard Creek shortly before dark. This stretch of the ICW, through the low country of South Carolina and Georgia, winds and twist from one river or creek to the next. We traveled through a dozen or more connecting rivers and several land cuts today, a total of 55.2nm.
