Actually, we found fewer problems in SC--much deeper water and better
marked than in NC.

For the return trip, make a note that under the Ben Sawyer bridge that
connects America to Sullivan's Island, north of Charleston Harbor, stay to
the MAINLAND side of the support post. The island side of the post is very
shallow and all filled in, so shallow at low tide outboard motors kick up.

South of the intersection of Stono River and the ICW, down to below the new
high bridge connecting America to John's Island, where the ICW flattens out
into a broad area just south of Stono River, the wide section has shifting
bars that are not all along the shores as the current slows in this area.
It used to be lots deeper, but that's no longer the case. Where the bends
are as it narrows to approach the last bridge on the south end of John's
Island, be watchful of shifting sand bars there, too.

I encountered one of these new bars about a mile S of the Stono
intersection when taking Stray Dog, my friend's Endeavour 35 to the
boatyard down there for her final motor to the survey...our final trip
aboard as she sold straight away. We'll get his new Jenneau 41 in May from
her cheap berth in Miami...(c;

Ah, another handheld GPS delivery in a boat stripped by her previous
owner...
