On the hook- Oct 19th ICW 455

We decided the bridges were working against us today so we dropped the hook off Copahee Sound (off Porcher Bluff / Porcher Creek). It was blowing pretty hard tonight. Rain off and on. We have current against wind where we are in 26 ft of water. 120 ft chain out.

When I pulled up the anchor she came up clean.. no mud what so ever. Charles made changes to our ground tackle. I used to struggle gettting the 66 lb Bruce anchor launched. It kept catching under the jib furler. He had the furler raised. What a lovely surprise! She deployed effortlessly. That extra foot made a big difference. Next it is off to the Ben Sayer bridge @ 462.2 which stays closed during rush hour (7-9) ( 4-6) but opens on demand.
