In the morning we motored on the ICW. After we left Charleston, we motored past mile after mile of expensive waterfront summer homes, with their hurricane damaged docks and boats.
If you don’t believe in climate change, go for a thousand mile boat ride along the Intracoastal waterway. It’s impossible to deny what we can see with our own eyes. The ocean is rising and it’s going to have a huge economic impact.
While the water in the more northerly parts of the ICW were sadly polluted, this portion of the waterway had the cleansing benefits of thousands of acres of marsh. We saw Pelicans and porpoises and after we got beyond the summer homes and estates we got deeper into the marsh to an area that was so incredibly quiet. We dropped anchor into utter silence. It was incredibly healing, being in the place. We cooked and ate and rested in all our favorite ways. In spite of everything going wrong in the world, we wcompletely safe

I think you’ll find that we’re now seeing Atlantic Dolphins, rather than the Harbor Porpoises we’re used to up in Maine! Not that porpoises aren’t cool, but the never showed the interest in us humans that the dolphins do!

Oh! Yes the dolphins are so different! Staying at Marinelnd Marina included 2 free tickets to the Maruneland Dolphin Adventures across the street which I loved! I spent extra and did the behind the scenes tour and got to ask as many questions as I wanted!! Loved it! I love dolphins so much! They are so tolerant of humans!
