So we left Beaufort and it is very windy and cool Temperature is 18 degrees.

Did not quite get this Osprey as well as I should have. Came across this which had signs all over no tresspasing  and no entering in the creek.

This is part of the naval base just outside Beaufort. Below is the ocean at St. Helena Sound.  Looks pretty calm.

We entered Ashepoo Coosaw Cutoff reading 7.5 feet under the boat at high tide. We entered Ashepoo River and got a little swamped by these boats while they passed.

Almost ran over this crab pod.

Had to take a picture of this crane we passed on our way tot he anchorage.

Must be some kind of ship yard.

Pulled into Church Creek, New Cut Landing to anchor for the nite.  A saw lots of dolphins but not to close to us.

Anchored down river from this gentleman and we anchored in 13 feet of water.  We have a crab pod behind the boat but we are far enough away.

 

As you can see the tide is going down.

And this is the cage for the crab pods you can see the cage and the ball are high and dry but when the water comes up the pod is 8 to 9 feet under water and the ball is floating on top.  You don’t want that around your props.

And another sunset this time a sailboat and power boat is in the mix.
