Darien River - Moon River, April 3

Slept in a little and got underway about 8:15. The day was totally different than yesterday. Overcast and cold. We are so happy we had the flybridge fully enclosed.

About 5 miles into our day we got to Sepelo Sound and later St. Catherines Sound. The wind was blowing about 20-25 mph and it became quite rough. We were taking spray up on the flybridge and were pretty uncomfortable for a couple of hours.

Most of our trip today was past uninhabited, marshy land with very little traffic. We did come across these fishermen checking their crab pots.

We went past Blackbeard Island. The island was named for Edward Teach, who was better known as the pirate “Blackbeard”. Legend has it that pirate booty is buried on this island, however no treasure has ever been found.



The birds are following us again. Now we are wondering if they are just drafting and getting a free ride.

Anchored about 5 p.m. at Moon River, which is pretty close to Savannah.
