Traveling through South Carolina was a wonderful myriad of
rivers, creeks, cuts and sounds, all part of the ACIW. These creeks are big and deep enough to
traverse and anchor in. They are nothing
like the insipid creeks I grew up with in Minnesota. With the occasional break of a few cities, it
is mostly marshes with a few areas of trees.
It feels very open and natural.
The smells were a unique blend of something tangy, sweet, salty and
not quite fishy but more shrimpy, maybe even a little alligator. What do alligators smell like? I guess I really don’t know. It was a comfortable feeling and all I really wanted to do was lay back and run my
fingers through the water, if I could have reached that far. Hmmm, I wonder about those alligators, maybe
not! Here are some pictures that
hopefully inspire you on a nice warm day on the water somewhere quiet.
On April 30 we pulled into Mile Hammock Bay and dropped
anchor. This bay is on Camp Le Jeune so
we were unable to go ashore. We
did have an interesting day watching the helicopters go through their
maneuvers. They flew low, were loud
and awe inspiring to watch. We spent
two nights in the bay and although we couldn’t get off the boat we didn’t lack
for entertainment.
Surprise!
Nah, it didn't really happen but we wouldn't have been surprised if a marine had popped up next to our boat.
Love the boating life..........................
