We started off Thursday in a little fast moving creek only about 10 miles from downtown Charleston. We had reservatons at the city Marina but we first had a dilemma to deal with. Because the creek was fast moving and very narrow I chose to set a bow and stern anchor the night before. That prevented us from swinging onto other boats or docks in the area but the problem was how to retrieve two anchors. Denniese and I discussed the options which included, even just dropping the second anchor line in the water and leaving it. We chose instead to put a float on the second anchor and picked it up after we hauled in the bow anchor. It all went amazingly well with me taking in anchors and Denniese at the helm. The only problem was two anchors equals twice the mud onboard. By the time we reached Charleston I had most of it cleaned up. We docked and called the bottom cleaning service reccomended by Dennis and JoAnn Schmidt. Josh was just finishing cleaning the boat next to ours and had ours cleaned within an hour. What service. Thanks for the reccomendation. Denniese went shopping with a lady we met in the slip next to ours who had a car, and I worked on boat projects. I located the Flux Compass but have not done anything with it. Tomorrow we get to go downtown Charleston. The pic is of an Army ship. Now we are in trouble, The Army has a Navy?
