Hilton Head Island - Almost

We had a great stay in Charleston, spending most of the time biking around looking at the magnificent homes.  On the second Sunday of each month King Street is turned into a pedestrian only street.  Most of the merchants were open and the restaurants had tables on the sidewalks.  The Jazzercise class was held on the street.

Monday was a late start due to a work related telecon in the morning, so we only made it to South Edisto River (32 37.172N/80 23.779W) where we anchored for the night.  We had planned to make it to a Marina on Hilton Head Island on Tuesday, but it didn't happen.  With three guide books and a sign saying the the Ladies Island Bridge open on the hour and half hour, it only opens on the hour according to the less than communicative bridge tender - 45 minute wait.  Then the wind associated with an approaching frontal passage gave us 20 - 25 knots on the nose and large waves as we crossed Port Royal Sound.  So, we decided to anchored in Skull Creek (32 15.174N/080 44.679W) next to Hilton Head Island.  We will see Hilton Head on the next time through, tomorrow Savannah, GA.
