Two days:
Charleston, SC mile 469.3 to Hilton Head Island, SC Mile 554.8
We are docked at a marina for the next two nights. I think Mattias needed an anchoring break...last night we settled into a very peaceful river but the wind was blowing. When the anchor alarm went off, Mattias went on deck to check and saw the boat was spinning around. We were sitting in a whirlpool spot and the anchor line wrapped itself around the keel. This morning while pulling the anchor up and out, he noticed the steel Danforth had bent! We had a good motor to Hilton Head and saw many dolphin, one in particular gave a nice show for the girls. Tonight we are at a marina in Hilton Head Island. We are sitting in a "fishbowl" of Rice Krispies. The krill, small shrimp, are nibbling away at our boat and it literally sounds like Rice Krispies crackling beneath us! The first time our friends on Patience heard it, the almost dismantled their whole boat looking for cockroaches and the like. Then remembered, ah, krill!
More later,
