Saturday 28 November – Hilton Head, SC to Isle of Hope, GA
After contending with the strong current again as we left the marina, the rest of the day was very pleasant and relative easy. We timed our departure of Hilton Head to have us transit the Fields Cut at high tide. 
The Fields Cut takes you right into the busy Savannah River which you have to cross to continue on the ICW.
We watched a large shipping container ship coming down the river while we wound our way through the cut. The AIS showed he was traveling at a brisk 20 mph, and we figured (and hoped) he would be clear of the channel by the time we would be exiting. We were glad we wouldn’t have to contend with a close encounter.
As we crossed the Savannah River we kept looking both ways to be sure we wouldn’t be surprised of any other traffic, and also said farewell to South Carolina as we entered Georgia.
We continued down the Waterway and made our way to Isle of Hope Marina which is located on a bend of the channel. We borrowed the loaner car to drive to the supermarket and stock up on some provisions to get us by for the next couple of days.
Returning to the boat we enjoyed a quiet evening watching boats and dolphins pass by.
