Red ICW buoy on the bank
This buoy is a legitimate red channel marker which is a bit off its mooring.
Sailboat aground
We saw the sailboat BONNIE CHRISTINE aground - probably trying to run after dark.

.
Bascule RR bridge
Just past the blue RR bridge (this bridge used to be a dual railroad and road bridge)..
Fixed bridge with RR bridge in the back
and the fixed bridge that is north of the Socastee Swing Bridge,
Illegal red "No Wake" buoy
Just about a half an hour previously, we had seen a red marker up on the right bank (top photo). Red ICW markers are supposed to be on the starboard (right) side.

Suddenly ahead, we see two red markers way over on the port side. They are too close to the docks for us to go between the marker and the dock.

With the binoculars, I determine that these are not ICW markers but are actually "No Wake" markers.

NO-Wake markers are supposed to be white with an orange stripe. Red ones are confusing, probably illegal, and dangerous.
Expensive house
I guess the people who live along here in the big fancy houses think that they don't have to abide by the regulations, just as the power boaters don't pay any attention to the regular No Wake markers.
Golf course
We pass some more golf courses.
Wooden soldier sign?
