Entering Charleston Harbor At Night
Entering Charleston Harbor at night has always been a bit tricky. With all the commercial traffic, not to mention the bevy of lighted navigational aids, the water often resembles a Christmas Tree, and it can hard to decide what's what. Captain Lourie gives some good advice below when entering from Charleston Harbor Inlet at night.
Entering Charleston Harbor at night was slightly different. The Fort Sumpter Range has blinding red range lights. There is no way to get lost. Stay slightly outside (north of) the marked channel to give berth to commerical traffic. Charleston Harbor Marina is (as always) generous, well appointed, and a great place for a shower.
