Southward Bound

We had a wonderful time in Charleston for 3 days. Our good friend Karen from "Blue Moon", that we met last year, came for a visit from Georgetown SC. We took another carriage ride, had lunch at Jestines Kitchen, had cocktails at "Big Johns", a local hangout, and dinner at Henrys. On Day 3, Jim and George from "Passages" went to the aquarium, and Mo and & I had an afternoon of walking & mostly window shopping. We have been traveling with "Polar Pacer" & "Passages - Vermont". Lots of fun having happy hours & dinners on each other boats. We all upped anchor on Friday morning, zipped through Elliot Cut at 10 knots, and found a great anchorage for the night at Tom Point Creek. On Saturday we arrived in Beaufort SC and decided to anchor in Factory Creek because it is closer to the laundromat, Publix, and the hardware store where we could refill our propane tanks. We did all of our chores by 1300, weighed anchor and motored a whopping mile to the anchorage by the Beaufort City Marina (closer to historic stuff)! We will probably be here for another day or two depending on the course Tropical Storm Ida takes.
