The juxtaposition of practical seamanship challenges - the 22 groundings, the drawbridge procedures, the eight-foot draft on a questionable ten-foot bottom - against the rich historical tapestry of Charleston creates a compelling narrative texture. Your observation about the difference between American and European IALA rules for channel markers is exactly the kind of detail that separates lived experience from armchair sailing. The Wahoo incident perfectly captures the comedic reality of offshore fishing: the triumph of the catch followed by the puzzlement of identification and the locals' knowing smirks. Looking forward to the next chapter.
