After a very busy morning Nana and Nandad left Charleston at 11am so we realized right away that making it to Georgetown would be a stretch! Now cruising the ICW is really an experience that simply has to be experienced in person. Some of the areas just can not be described in enough detail to explain its complexity and pictures just do not capture the lure of all the canals, creeks, rivers, inlets, islands, bridges, swamps, mile markers, trees, grasses and not to mention some of the wildlife along the way. The picture above is just one little spot that if you are not paying attention, while on the helm , a surprise will await you!!!
Just before NH dropped anchor , while cruising the Estherville Minim Cr Canal at mile maker 412 , there is a barge called Miss Ellie that takes the cars from one side to the other - no bascule or swing bridge here! Although it is only 10 miles to Georgetown we decided to call it a day and settle in for the night. A great decision as Nana was able to soak up some sunshine on the bow and practice her meditation while listening to mother nature’s sounds. Quite the treat. A cool buggy night made for the perfect dinner in the pilot house overlooking this amazing view of Cat Island, Cedar Island, Mimim Island with their lush grasses and marshes. The weather is cooler now so once the screens in place it’s the perfect sleeping weather. No air conditioning needed.
