Didn't Make Chuck Town

We had planned to be in Charleston, SC harbor tonight, but it didn't happen.  Due to a low tide in a tight anchorage in Georgetown, SC, we decided to delay our departure this morning.  Instead we had breakfast and a latte in a great little breakfast place.  Before Charleston harbor is the Ben Sawyer Highway Bridge, vertical clearance 31 feet (Serenity's mast is 42 feet above the waterline), and openings are restricted between 4 and 6 PM.  Our arrival time would have been 4:45 PM, with sunset at 5:30.  The math didn't work, so we are anchored behind Big Hill Marsh Island, or at 32 50.222 N/079 43.844W.  Rather uneventful day on the ICW, but some of the wildlife was interesting.  Besides the birds, we were entertained by several dolphin sightings.
