Beaufort, SC

Departed CHS Sunday morning at 0745 and sailed up and down many rivers. We started out making 10 knots SOG for the first hour and thirty minutes, but then the dreaded head currents arrived and the boat speed steadily fell until we were doing 5.4 knots up the Coosaw River. As you go thru the cuts between rivers, the speed will go up to 9 knots or better and then drop as you again fight a counter current. We arrived in Beaufort doing 9.4 knots at 1545 and are tied to the dock at Marsh Harbor Marina/Boat Works. We are hanging out here a few days, renting a car to explore, and then on to Savannah (favorite Southern city) to see Beth and Steve Westgate, ole friends from my Guard days and fellow boaters. We should be there Thur or Fri. S
