Underway Today

Case in point they are all following the marked channel regardless of their draft. I don't, I go the shortest distance where there is enough water. It's not a road out here, that's much of the joy of the freedom.

Can you elaborate on this? Not sure I understand it totally. Like where are you talking about?

Yup, he is. Even though they are fantastically beautiful on the water, they are even more incredible to see out of the water. What a hull.

I was not aware that the Hinkley Picnic Boat is a Tad Roberts design.

If you look at my track right now you will see me running rhumb lines instead of the channell.

Well that's no fun at all. It's not like there is any shelter down here

I'll take a shot at this...

Instead of normally running point to point, cut the corners off where there's enough water saving on distance traveled.

Am I correct?

I know some of you are here only for the porn

Be careful when you get here! AICW North of Ben Sawyer Bridge to Isle of Palms Bridge (Statute Mile 460, South Carolina ICW)

A buddy of mine went through a couple of weeks ago and there were three or four boats grounded. They are seeing 2' depths in there @ MLW.

What a labyrinth of turns and corners and switchbacks, no wonder you want to go offshore (if your in a hurry).

I don't know why, but the AIS info does not show on my laptop. I have not been able to follow you at all... ever.

Daddyo, if you're pushing through today, high tide is about 2:30 p.m. near Isle of Palms, which should put about 4+ extra feet under your keel going north.

Tides for Breach Inlet (Isle of Palms)

Thanks!

To find Daddyo-you may need to go to the "Vessels" tab, enter "Grace" in the search, the page for Grace pops up, and on the left middle is "Show Vessel's Track", click that and Daddyo will pop up in the Edisto River!

That link worked for me also.

Where does Edisto river go?

Daddyo-are you trying to make Charleston tonight? Looks like it is going to be a long day for you to make it.

If you go to that link and about the fourth line down there is a link for graph view. The third graph provides average speed and is interesting to see as well.

Beach-The Edisto is classic low-country SC. Still a pretty wild area of SC. Home of the Gullah, descendants of West African slaves, that have lived there since the early 1700s. They still speak "GeeChee", a patios mixture of old English and West African languages. A fascinating culture that is unfortunately dying with the development of the lower SC coast.

Most people know the Gullah as the famous "basket weavers" around Charleston.

Thanks! Never knew.

Might have to check this place out, sounds great.

I try not to have a plan, just see where sea and tides take me
