Today we were smart and paddled with the tides. When the tide was low we put in and paddle out towards the river which meant the current took us out. Along the way we saw some large beautiful homes but the best thing I've seen two manatees. Then as we got farther out we saw some post and they're sitting on one post was a bald eagle. But as we got closer it flew away and we were able to see it sore into a Pinetree. It was on this island that we had stopped. I immediately sunk into some Muck some quicksand like muck. I was really afraid that I would lose my shoes, but pulled those out and then scotty helped pull me out and I need it to some harder ground. We walked along the island collecting some shells. The island was pretty amazing it was just a mass of Oyster shells, some conch shells and scallop shells. We got back into our kayaks with the intention of paddling around the whole island. But the current against us was rather strong and we decided to head back. On the way back we stopped at a point on one island and had our lunch. Note we had bought some peaches from Kroger and they were the best teachers ever. We finished lunch and continued our trek back to the put in. With the wind at our back in the high tide leaving us alone it was a wonderful trip back.
Dinner that night was excellent! We ate at a restaurant in downtown Hilton Head. (Now I forget the name!!)
