Wacca Wache, SC

-

 



Early departure, we are headed to an anchorage just south of Charleston.  Weather has been just beautiful, with cooler nights…great for sleeping.

Picture by fellow looper Diane on Greta Lynn as we pass them on the river.



Anchored in this tributary all by ourselves.  Beautiful evening.


Early start on Tuesday…..a brisk 8 degrees…looking for socks and jacket this morning.






Charleston in the distance as we cruise right on by….been there, done that…..moving on.





Trying to capture the river side homes and the awesome length of some of their docks.


Another solo anchorage with the exception of dolphins, so many in this area….they kept us entertained during cocktails.


Day 3 on the road….tonight we have a dock reservation.


So many dolphins in this area….we can see them at a distance, hunting, we think, but when they hear the boat they make a Beeline to come and play in our wake.


Under the bow.


Mom and junior…🐬




26 miles on the beautiful Waccamaw River….more trees here and a very active population of sparrows….it’s buggy. 🦟



We arrived at the Wacca Wache marina by noon, fuelled up at $3.58 a gallon, (cheapest diesel so far) and enjoyed a lovely lunch at their dockside restaurant.


That wraps up a 3 day run through South Carolina as we make tracks heading north.

Thanks for the comments, both here and on Facebook….nice to see we still have virtual passengers onboard for this adventure.

  Richard and Thérèse’s boating adventure has come to an end and what an adventure it has been.

  Yup…New Adventures await us…..Loved every minute!!!  We have listed her with the broker who sold her to us, Gerry Zidner.  You can see her listing on boat dealers.ca.  We are back onboard  after our trip north. We had a nice trip back to Canada 🇨🇦…Lori and Dan’s baby shower had a great turn out…fun visit with my sister Louise and cousin Joanne….cloudy eclipse and celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary. Fellow Loopers taking our picture as they go by the marina while we were away.  Back on the move…..we left Wacca Wache marina in SC on April 13th….waiting for high winds to calm.  4 long days on the move and 4 nights at anchor leave us well positioned to cross the Albemarle Sound and weather conditions are perfect. Our first time going through Coinjock, a stop at their dock and diner at their restaurant. House specialty is Prime Rib that Richard enjoyed and I had the Ribeye….it was very nice. Last stretch going into the outskirts of Norfolk, Virgini...

Whitehall, NY

 We pushed off the wall close to 9am this morning, captain had a nice sleep in…..he needed it. The first lock of the day, up 10 feet. We are at maximum elevation of 140 feet for this canal system.  It’s all down hill from here. 👇 Three more locks today, all down. We had company today…a sail boat accompanied us from Fort Edwards to Whitehall. The canal is getting more and more narrow.  Mountains in the background as we approach Vermont. We got tied up in Whitehall, another free town dock including power and water….❤️❤️ Whitehall is the birthplace of US navy and it all started with this boat credited for winning the war of 1812 that was fought in this area. We went for a walk once the sunset, it was very hot today. Small downtown area by the waterfront park, the years have not been kind. View of Red Rover and the park from the bridge we will go under in the morning.
