	Charleston, South Carolina Oceanside… Starting at the RW "C" MO ("A") buoy from Offshore, head to the G "1" and R "2" buoys to the NW (approx). This is a straight run into Charleston Harbor, between the buoys, down the channel. At the buoys G "17" and R "18" the North and South Jetties start. I find them at High Tide to be somewhat submerged, but still knock down some wave action. Coming to buoys G "21" and R "22" the channel takes a slight turn to starboard. There is some shoaling to port. You will pass Fort Sumter on your port side (where the start of the Civil war began) and come to buoy G "25" where the channel forks. Straight takes you to the north side of Charleston on the Cooper River, and a port turn takes you along the south side of Charleston into the Ashley River. I find Charleston an easy Inlet to run and have been in and out of this one many times. Still because of the Tides and currents caution has to be taken. There have been many accidents along the Jetties since they do submerge in parts and can't be seen. Charleston is a town of history and it shows. From its splendid homes, centuries old, to its down home southern cooking, this Town is worth Exploring!   Fort Sumter Horse drawn Carriage tours in Charleston   **This is only to be used as a guide and prudent Captains will always refer to proper sources for Navigation, such as US Government Charts & Books Name: Email: Inlet: Please note: Only your name will be displayed to other users.
