After three days at anchor, I hauled anchor and set to depart.
The anchor was wrapped around the keel but there was not much wind, and I was able maneuver BELLUM to unwrap the rode single handed.
Winds were light I departed at 9 arriving just after noon an anchor similar to Whiteside creek. Easy sail to steamboat Landing. Missing YStop and Tranquillo who chose different anchorage.
We departed White Creekside Creek to St. John Harbor and anchored out for three nights. Elliott cut current was strong.
We rented a van on the first day we did West Marine and some groceries, and Herb and Kathy and I walked through town through the French, quarters
On the second day, Jim and Julie and Kathy and I walked through town visiting the house where there was a large family and a enslaved work.
Staff had Mexican food walked around some more too little to the blind tiger and then took an Uber back where I lost my credit card
Went back to the boat and made a pork tenderloin and went to bed around 11 o’clock rather late
Charleston could not accommodate all our boats due to hurricane damage.
Wally decided we could anchor at White creek - an anchorage on
On November 12 We left Georgetown for Whiteside Creek, a creek that was surrounded by sea gras
Afternoon visit to Front St, Georgetown Anchored at 12:30 and I took the dinghy into Georgetown
Later Wally borrowed my 20 LB propane tank since his went empty while making his supper. To My surprise my tank was almost empty.
The next morning I set up the Nespresso machine for my neighbours. Only Kathy took me up on Espresso.
Inspired by Julie’s exercising aboard Summer Salt, I did my Yoga on my own. We departed at 8:30 for Georgetown. Easy motoring on the Waccamaw River. It was easy - mostly wide and deep.
Arrived at 12. Ystop, Faithful and xxx anchored while Gypsy Wind, Midnight and Summer Salt took a slip.
We had some beer and snacks and then went for Pizza.
I went out for a walk, ended up at Walmart doing a small grocery and where I met Robbie and Esteban and we decided to share an Uber so I loaded up on future groceries including two propane tanks for the Kettle, potatoes and a case of beer. No UBER wanted to come, or Lyft or Taxi. It was a three km walk but the groceries were heavy.
Eventually Robbie got an Uber after about a quarter km walk. An adventure ! Had my salmon aboard on the Magma Grill. It worked much better now that I did the WD40 on the regulator.
They next day was Veterans' Day and Georgetown held a small-town parade. After the parade we went to the Uber driver's (Joseph) Brew Bed and Breakfast for some craft brew.
