LBK = Long Boat Key?
If so, wave when you go by. Thinking about a cruise up to Tarpon Springs this winter. Have to see if you or Healhustler want to make it get together.

Have a safe trip. I’m thinking about about emulating you and heading north next hurricane season. Maybe to the Chesapeake area next summer? Never been up that way.

Yep, Longboat Key. We have visited Tarpon a few times. Great cruising from where you are to Tarpon.

I see your in Mile Hammock tonight. I heard the hurricane broke the ocean free to the ICW at the turn just north of Mile Hammock basin. Is it still opened up?

Well it's been some stops and starts between the weather and an 80 year old bridge. Was planning to take the Dismal Swamp canal to Elizabeth city on Monday, but an 80 year old bridge at the South Mill lock, broke almost closed. So neither car or boat traffic could get past it. On Sunday it was determined that Maybe it would be fixed on Monday. Ended up coming back out of the Swamp Sunday and got to Great Bridge to take the Albemarle Chesapeake canal. Missed dinner at Cypress Creek Grill in Elizabeth city. Monday wasn't to bad, but Tuesday was a virtual traffic jam on the AICW. Actually, everything moved smoothly, but just more boats traveling on it than I have ever seen. Spent last night in hmason's secret anchorage in Oriental NC. Had dinner at M & M's. If you find yourself in Oriental, the food is great and extremely reasonable.
Today had me transiting between Oriental and Mile Hammock (anchorage next to Camp Lejeun). Pictures for today:
Does this 25'+ center console that I'm towing down the AICW at 10 knots make me look big? He actually did a very professional job including passing a few sailboats in the river section.
If you anchor in Mile Hammock, plan to be the landing approach for the Ospreys. Quite the show this afternoon.

So I ended up in Southport NC today and had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.
https://www.josephsitalianbistro.com/home
What was truly amazing is this little dead end waterway right around the corner. Small enough that you probably need to bow and stern anchor just to keep you out of the way. A picturesque anchorage right on the edge of Southport. On the other side of the trees on the right is a small waterway that carries cooling water from the nuclear power plant. Well I guess no anchorage is perfect.

It's funny, I don't think I've ever had a main course from the menu. They have 6 or 8 specials every night. Not only do they tell you what they are, but they describe the contents and how they're made. Tonight was shrimp, scallops, artichokes and ravioli with a light cream sauce. That and the steamed clams in white wine and garlic sauce to start.

Left Osprey marina yesterday heading for Charleston. As luck would have it, my itinerary would have me going through McClellanville at low tide. By10AM the winds were 20 to 25 South to Southwest. Reached McClellanville right at low tide. The winds kept some water in; the the low wasn't too extreme. Down to that point I don't think I saw less than 9' of water near low tide. Within a half mile of town it shallowed to about 8' minimum. After town to dredge Tenacious it got really skinny. Just as I'm about to pass the dredge, I see less than 6' with the depth alarm going off. Passing the dredge, it takes quite a while (15 seconds) for the depth sounder to accurately read the bottom because of all the suspended mud in the water. Then the water depth dropped to 9'+ for the rest of the trip to Charleston. They have a mile or so to go before than entire stretch is 9'+ at MLW.

Yes it's a wonderful day offshore! Going from Charleston to Port Royal sound. Currently about 10 miles offshore.

I remember seeing you. This is our home marina and we love Joseph's too. They make an awesome soft shell crab appetizer or main which is my favorite. Rusty Hooks is getting their act together after opening last spring so that's another alternative.

Wifey B: Only one time in my young life have I taken that trip inside. No thanks. Myrtle to Georgetown to Ocean to Charleston, thank you. Current conditions there are 2' at 7 seconds and the more important one is all the depth readings are double and triple digits.

Well they've pulled most of the buoys from Hell Gate. Other than draft, you could probably drive a container ship through there now. From what I understand, they have one buried cable that they need to identify the owner of, so that they can dredge and bury it deeper. Other than that, it looks like 12' at MLW and wide enough for 2 tugs and barges to pass each other. No reservations going through there in the dark at dead low tide.
