Day #124 - Charleston, SC

Enjoyed  a day to relax, do some laundry and shop. It sure was chilly this am after the storm and cold front came through. We are back to wearing our long pants, hats and sweatshirts. We used the marina courtesy van to take us to the local grocery store " Harris Teeter" and then walked around town to explore the area before we bought groceries and called the van to take us back "home". 

Day #123 - Charleston, SC

Looking for a good beer!

Left Beaufort around 7:15am knowing that we had a long road ahead of us....like 72 miles...the weather was coming in across the state and we were hoping to beat it for a couple of days and headed for Charleston, SC. We finally tied up around 5:15 pm. That's like a 10 hr. day averaging about 7 mph. Thank goodness we made reservations at the city marina downtown where "Mark's Ark" and "Twenty Bucks" were heading also. The winds picked up considerably and the tide was rising, after a couple bumps off the docks, we were tied up for the night at the "Mega Dock". Then, of course, the stormy weather picked up around 7:00pm and was pitch dark! Yikes.......well we weathered another storm at a marina...safe and sound. Will probably stay here for a couple days due to the weather.

Day #122 - Beaufort, SC

Live Oak Tree

Free Chocolate Sand Dollar

Gorgeous Weather

Heading over to the municipal dock in Beaufort, SC for the night.  Many beautiful houses and interesting trees in the area. We rode bikes to check out the scenery.

Day #121 - Factory Creek, SC

Took off today around 7:30 am and back on the waterway heading by Hilton Head, SC. and then would like to anchor in Factory Creek in Beaufort, SC.This anchorage was pretty quiet but very shallow.  Made reservations for a slip downtown, Beaufort SC,  at the marina so we can go exploring tomorrow on our bikes.

Day #120 - Herb River, SC

Breathtaking Sunset

Boat pulling parasailors

Took off about 7:30 am to get an early start to the day. Another beautiful and sunny day for a boat ride.

Day #119 - Wahoo Creek, SC

Tried to leave early after Jim and Gail took off around 7:00am, but our monitor in the upper helm was not working. Scot had to modify a plug so after an 1/2 hour of repairing plugs we finally hit the open water once again. Not much to see today......just marshes, dolphins, flies and "no-see ums".

Sojourner

Friendly barge

We finally decided to anchor in Wahoo Creek. Took about an extra 1/2 hr. to make our way in slowly without running aground. We finally anchored about 4:00ish. We had the whole anchorage to ourselves but 'lo and behold, here's comes a bigger trawler "Sojourner" from Kenosha, WI inching their way into our territory. It truly was a beautiful and tranquil spot among the trees and marshlands. Cruised about 52 miles today!

Day #118 - Jekyll Island

Nothing like a rainy day to dampen your spirits....anyway, more sight seeing with Jim and Gail via their truck and some umbrellas.  Also went to Palm Sunday Mass @ St. Francis Xavier in Brunswick, GA.

Cooked some hamburgers on the grill and watched some Final Four basketball. Plan on taking off early Sunday am.
