beautiful morning, up anchor and off at seven. Old Shoe tucked in
behind

quieter than the journey north, no thunder and lightening AND we could see
others

push
![]() ![]() Then we entered Adam's Creek and the quiet of the ICW
![]() We passed a tree with a regional meeting of crows - the noise was
awesome
![]() ![]() The bear
was still guarding the river, the wise owl was still
present and correct
![]() ![]() Our friends
were there to accompany us, so good to see them and the sun was
out

Trooper on the helm
![]() Then we saw a
conference of Cormorants
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just a few around
the edge were bothered by us passing - most were completely
unconcerned

Beaufort Bridge, entered the marina basin and nestled in
