Good Sunday morning to all!
I type this as Master Plan glides down the ICW en route to Charleston - we should be there within the hour. We spent last night at Isle of Palms Marina - we did stop there last year - and had an enjoyable evening. There is a fun restaurant right next to the marina where we grabbed a quick bite to eat, then settled in for a relaxing evening.
We traveled about 85 miles yesterday and it is amazing how much the landscape changes - we started in the wooded Waccamaw River and ended up in the beautiful low country. We did have an exciting moment and a "first" for us - a bobcat swam across the ICW right in front of our boat - I grabbed some great photos - see below. There were also some dolphin sitings and a few great blue herons along the way. So cool.
Enjoy the photos -

| Master Plan at Osprey Marina moments before our departure - you can see the fog ahead - actually steam since the water is so much warmer than the air. |
 |
| Heading down the Waccamaw River - beautiful and peaceful - Paul did use the fog horn a few times. We weren't really concerned about not seeing other boats our size, but there are a lot of small boats - mostly fishermen - that cruise around the ICW. |

| A bobcat swimming across the ICW - if you look closely, you can see his short tail. We did a little google research last night and found out that Bobcats are the only wild cat found in South Carolina - so it was easy for us to figure out what we saw!! |
 |
| We saw it starting across and at first weren't sure what it was - as last year, we saw an alligator here almost in the same place - but we could tell right away it wasn't an alligator! |

We are heading into Charleston Harbor as I type this and lots of dolphins are playing around us - so I need to get going so I can prepare for our docking! We will stay in Charleston until next Monday - so we look forward to spending more time in this awesome city.
Until the next posting - thanks for following along and for your love and support! Love, Jen & Paul
