A Distance Record

We left Ashpoo River early yesterday morning intending to anchor in the S Santee River, but as the day wore on the weather forecast for Thursday night and Friday got worse so we decided to press on to Georgetown if possible. We rode the favorable tide current for hours at a time, more than we ever had. We left Ashpoo at 0630 and tied up at Georgetown Landing at 1845; 12 hours and 15 minutes to cover 112 statue miles. Exceeding the previous record of 99 miles. The howling winds last night made us very glad to be tied up. We will stay here today as the wind continues to howl as a cold front approaches; will be off to some destination tomorrow. (note that the rising tide wiped out Plan A written in sand; we are now on Plan B)
