November 5, South Edisto River

I am so tired of being cold every morning- we both put on about 5 layers of clothing (turtle neck, flannel shirt, sweater, vest, windbreaker,  and hat).  The temperature was 58 this morning but the wind was icy cold off the water.  By noon we were in a narrow river, the trees cut some of the wind, and the sun began to warm us up.  There wasn’t much in the way of scenery today- a few houses scattered here and there, but mainly just marsh grass.  We did see Fort Sumpter in the distance and the bridges to Charleston, but we just kept moving on.  By 2:00 we dropped a hook in a desolate area off the South Edisto River in 15 feet of water.  I forgot just how quiet it is on anchor!  We spent the afternoon reading and snoozing.  Suzy will miss the grass!
