June 22, 2009: Stono River

Today is our last day at the Charleston City Marina. Our new propellers came in today and we had the interesting opportunity to watch topside as diver, Josh, removed the old ones and installed the new. These propellers are 24 inches across with four blades and weigh about 75 pounds each. They were lowered by rope from the dock to assure they were not dropped in the process.




After visiting the Crab House for lunch we headed out into the ICW towards the Stono River for about 7 miles to the Ross Boat Yard. The fuel dock was closed when we arrived, so we anchored out near there for the night.



There we enjoyed again the quiet natural areas with green marshes, flowing inlets, and hunting egrets. The day ended with a lovely sunset.
