Outside to Beaufort, SC



Anther successful outside shortcut; from Walburg Creek to Beaufort, SC. Again this could not be done in one day on the ICW. The sea was like a mill pond; no wind and no waves. Some pictures: (1) the sunrise as we left Walburg Creek (2) The busy location is the Savannah River. Here a large gas carrier is just entering the channel (3) Others have to wait. This ship anchored outside the entance to await his turn. In contrast the Beaufort channel is 22 miles long and carefully maintained. In 15 years we have NEVER seen a ship enter Port Royal Harbor. A waste of money. Off to Charleston tomorrow.
