I had the anchor aboard almost before there was enough light to see my way out of the creek as the tide was turning against me and the wind was forecast to rise. Neither happened.
The air was so still it was like sliding up the river on a huge mirror as the sun lit up the Cypress Swamps.

The tide data in the GPS is for a point closer to Georgetown and the current turns later the farther you go up the river. I was able to keep pace with the change and thus had fair current all the way up into the land cut.
Once in the ditch, the ebb was in my direction so I had a boost for all but the last few of this 43 mile day. However, the wind did come up and was cold blowing straight down most of the waterway turning the rest of the day into a cold grind.
I'm now anchored just a few hundred yards from North Carolina, 36% of the way from Beaufort, SC to Mile Zero.
