Osprey Marina - at a dock

 

I took the blue dotted line route - 8 MLLW. The straight through route runs into a shoal by G47A

We passed through both Lockwoods Folly and Shallotte on the way to Osprey Marina from St James Marina. I took the Lockwoods Folly shore route for better water, at least 8 MLLW and mostly deeper. The straight through route shows severe shoaling by G47A. Someday, the Coast Guard will move G47A so boaters won’t run into the shoal extending into the channel there. Meanwhile, just take the shore route.

Good as ever, Osprey Marina

Osprey Marina is the same as always. They haven’t received their recent order yet for more mint jelly so the goodie bag was lighter than usual.  The price is still right thought at $1/ft! I filled up and had a pump out. It’s due to be cold tonight so I’m grateful for electric. 

Tonight it’s due to get into the 30s here! We have a short day on Wednesday to Georgetown so we’ll wait until it warms up a bit. The full sun still warms up our enclosure to shirt sleeve weather as we travel, no problem there. The real test will be on Thursday when we anchor out at Awendaw with a low predicted in the 30s. That Genset better work!
