Our journey north continues to traverse creeks, narrow rivers and wide sounds. The wind was light today so the sounds were not so daunting. The scenery continues to be low lying marshes with endless grassy shores. We still have palm trees. We saw a few more houses today and some cattle so we are nearing civilization. All the cities are at least 30 miles inland so way out of the way for us at this time. We feel like we want to make way.
We were swarmed by no-see-ums this morning so this afternoon, when we anchored in Walburg Creek (N31 40.1236 and W81 10.3354), I put up more screens. We have screens on our v-birth windows but it is not small enough to keep the pesky little things out. I have doubled up the screens with mesh using toothpicks to secure it. A little backyard engineering trick. We also sprayed ourselves with bug spray. Apparently these get worse as we travel towards South Caroline. We should be crossing into that state tomorrow. We will anchor again tomorrow and the next day find a dock so we can reprovision.
