Arrival at Winyah Bay
The wind
continued to hold through the night which allowed us to maintain speeds in
excess of 7 knots. The wind continued to
lose velocity as the day progressed.
However, we were able to motor along at a speed of 6.5 knots. As a
result, we were able to make the entrance to Winyah Bay before nightfall. We encountered the out-going tide which
reduced our speed to 3 ½ knots and forced us to anchor in Winyah Bay rather
than reaching Georgetown before dark. We
anchored without difficulty. However,
the mosquitos viciously attached us and we retreated to the shelter of our
cabin as soon as the anchor was set. We
were very tired from our overnight journey and went to bed early for some much
needed sleep.
