Elliot Cut joins the Stono River where our marina, St Johns Yacht Harbor is located, with the Wapoo Creek. Once you leave Charleston harbor you exit under a 65' fixed bridge and enter the Wapoo Creek which has a bascule bridge to pass through before reaching Elliot Cut. The difference in elevation and the abnormally high and low tides were the cause of potential disaster! Elliot Cut had such a current it was nearly impossible to pass through this quarter mile channel. If ever I have this to do again I will anchor in Charleston harbor and wait for high tide. I will explain this story when I see you!

Karen was most helpful and we were able to get propane, groceries, my monthly blood work and have a dinner out at The Grille near her home. Fresh seafood has been on my list of dinners since we left home! James Island where she lives is a busy place on the highways but quiet neighborhoods are everywhere.
