Sunday, March 22, 2009 - We’re in Isle of Palms Marina

Change of plans. We had intended to anchor tonight in Dewees Creek, but we have 30 kts. of wind at the moment (on the nose of course). We had an almost hour delay at the Ben Sawyer Bridge after just missing their on-the-hour opening so that was nerve fraying as keeping Long Gone in the center channel was a chore in the current and wind. Chris made the decision to stop here since there was no protection from this wind at the anchorage and it's cold! Morgan’s Grill is right up the dock from us and they have Happy Hour from 4-7 plus live entertainment--too tempting for us to pass up.
