CHristmas Day, Tuesday our 11th Day Out

After a quiet evening anchored next to a small island, we woke to dense fog.  This would normally be a minor problem, except that in South Carolina and Georgia, each river has many bends and lots of "cut thrus".  THis is where the Corp of Engineers has joined two rivers for navigation purposes and the river is a series of 180 degree turns to keep your movement south.  This is hard to do with dense fog except that the radar plays a key role.  WIth our Canadian friends following, we navigated until near noon before the visibility improved.  

The other issue with Christmas is that there are no fuel stations open.  This also proved to be the case on Christmas Eve.  Around 2 PM, I borrowed 5 gallons from our traveling companions and when we arrived at St Simon's Island at 8 PM at night, I was very lot on fuel.
