We backed out of the slip at Isle of Palms at 0700 intending to stop at the marina to pump out the holding tank but when we called them on the radio we were told that their pump wasn’t working, so we just kept on going. The passage across Charleston Harbor was rolly but no problem.
We were going to be bucking a strong current through Wappo Creek and Elliott Cut so we decided to kill some time and stop at City of Charleston Marina to pump out. The price for fuel wasn’t too bad ($3.38/ gallon) so we tool on 100 gallons. It was a very well run marina with helpful staff.
Most of the rest of the day was through narrow man made cuts and natural creeks. About 1400 storm clouds started to build to the northwest. As a precaution we quickly made preparations to anchor near Fenwick Cut off the South Edisto River just as the wind started to blow and rain hard. It was all over in less than an hour but we chose to stay anchored for the night. We launched the dinghy to take Sailor to shore and settled in for the night.
