Onward and Southward

What do you do when its foggy and you can't cruise? Your right - go for a bike ride. The Dataw Island Marina is part of a Golf Course community, when you're not golfing you take your boat out. Anyway because we couldn't leave on account of the fog we borrowed bikes and went in search of Aligators. We saw one when Frank was showing us the sights and we found two more - just little ones. We didn't fancy our chances getting closer to take pictures, maybe they were some big mama's kids or something. You-all know what Aligators look like so no need for a picture. Took some shots of the scenery though!

Concrete made with Oyster Sheels is called Tufa - looks neat don't you think

There was a problem with the electrical here at the marina so we didn't have any over night and we had to run the motor for a while, just before we went for the bike ride. While we were riding the fog started lifting so we peddled madly back to the boat and at 12:10pm we left Dathaw, Dataw or what ever it is Island Marina.

Back in the ICW we are cruising down the Coosaw River we'll pass Beaufort on the Beaufort River heading south to Port Royal Sound where the Parris Island Recruit Depot is, hopefully we can make it across to our desired anchorage in Skull Creek. If its clear we should get a good view of the ocean as we cross the Sound.

3:56 pm large bank of fog hiding any view we might have got of the ocean. 4:00 pm changing course back to Cowen Creek as we won't make it across the sound. As we dropped the anchor and settled in for the night we could here the Sergent Major drilling his men and the sound of M16's being fired at Parris Island.

Good night John Boy!
