Bull Creek, Hilton Head

We get up early, shower and have breakfast. Linda does laundry and I add a bunch of snaps to different pieces of the enclosure to be able to roll them up in-place. We get done earlier than expected. Then we get a text from our friends Jack and Ann who are a little way behind us, that they will not be stopping at

Lady's Island. They are on schedule and want to keep moving. So we decide we might as well get moving ourselves and are off the dock at 10:45. 

We have to first go through the Lady's Island swing bridge which opens on the hour on weekdays starting a 9:00 AM. On the weekend it opens on demand, another reason to get moving on a Sunday. 

Shrimper

Lots of dolphins around today and a few shrimp boats working in the Port Royal Sound. As we get further south rollers are coming in off the ocean and it gets rather rocky for an hour or so until we get off the Sound and behind Hilton Head Island. We find out that Jack and Ann are about 2 hours behind us, so we will not see them today, but will be staying at the same marina “Thunderbolt” tomorrow outside of Savannah. The last three hours of motoring was in the rain with low visibility, but we were dry under the enclosure. We dropped anchor in Bull Creek around 4:00 pm just as the rain stopped.
