We left our anchorage on the Beaufort River and headed south. Immediately we came upon Port Royal followed by Parris Island. After crossing Port Royal sound into which the Chechessee and Broad Rivers feed we could see Hilton Head Island. We then traveled the Calibrogue Sound to Haig Point on Daufuskie Island. I have read that Daufuskie means “da first key” of South Carolina. I don’t know if this is true or not, but it does help me pronounce the name more accurately. We took Ramshorn Creek to the New River, then took Walls Cut to the Wright River. Then Fields Cut took us to the Savannah River into Georgia while passing Jones Island, Bird Island and McQueens Island. It sure felt good to be in our home state!!! 575 miles on the ICW and we made it to Georgia. Next we took the Elba Island Cut to the Wilmington River and into Thunderbolt. Just past Thunderbolt we turned into the Herb River to stay for the night.
