Savannah to Wahoo River Anchorage

The current at the marina was very strong and each boat’s departure was planned based upon its orientation to the river and the other boats around it.  All but 4 of the fleet were able to depart between 0630 and 0700.  The remaining 4 did not attempt to depart until the current significantly slowed.  The wind was blowing unfavorably and the fairways were narrow.  Foreign Affair was the first to attempt to get underway and unfortunately, Dwayne was not able to back out of the slip, turn the boat and get into the river without coming into contact with the boat in the next slip.  Fortunately, the damage was minimal.  No damage to Foreign Affair but the other boat had some clevis pins on the davit system bent which can be replaced.  Needless to say, Dwayne feels very badly about this incident.

Shrimp Boat

The day went well once clear of the marina.  We had one “trouble spot” to negotiate and the tide was rising when we arrived so it was not a problem.  We arrived at our anchorage before 1700 and settled in without much ado.  Carla made a wonderful dinner of leftover shrimp and pasta.  The winds finally died down and all was quiet in the anchorage.
