It's a 67 Nm run assuming you anchor first at the Calabash Creek for an early the start next morning and then go to Georgetown. This time of the year you have about 11 hrs of daylight. You would need to average 6.1 kts and you can expect the trip up Winyah Bay to be a slog regardless of the tide due to the flood outflow. Needless to say, you need good weather. <br /><br />You could shorten the trip to 60 Nm by anchoring just outside the entrance to the ICW but it's wide open.

Entering the bay you'll be facing the outflow from flood waters. Be careful with a wind against tide condition. We're just going to sit it out here.
