Dolphins and the River Ouse

It's difficult trace our journey with a yellow line through a yellow land but maybe you can get an idea of the country side we travel through. Upstream then through a small cut to another river system and down stream, then up a different river. Most of the countryside today was pretty remote. A frequent site were dolphins, with the motor on, as it was all day, they tended to keep their  distance but they were there all day.

One of the cuts went by the name of the Ashepoo Coosaw cutoff and it reminded me vividly of Norfolk , it could have easily been The Ouse on its way from the Wash to Kings Lynn, or maybe the north Norfolk Coast near Brancaster.  It was very shallow and it took quite a while to pick our way through the muddy water , at one point the depth registered 3.3 feet which meant the keel was well in the mud, but thank goodness it was quite easy to push through it.

  Now in Beaufort, and worth a visit.
