Beaufort & Port Royal, SC

Thursday, November 15^th

We continued our southerly migration and reached Beaufort, SC and it’s almost twin city of Port Royal, both just off Port Royal Sound. The tides are getting higher – about 7’, which creates stronger currents. Often, we now see crab pots out of the water when the tide is low. I like them better when they’re on shore J   Also, we’re seeing a lot of dolphins! One scared the bejesus out of me when he surfaced and blew off the port stern while I was at the helm.

 Hi again :)

We anchored for the night in Battery Creek, off the town of Port Royal, under a 3/4 moon.
Tomorrow we shall embark on our third Atlantic passage, and our second overnighter; so we spent the evening passage planning. Stay tuned!
