CHARMING CHARLESTON

After leaving Beaufort @ first light (6AM) to have the tide in our favor, we arrived Charleston about 2:30PM. We had another glorious day on the water through SC marshland....no issues with boat or
 depth :-) One highlight is that we got Dorsey to pee on her potty mat 2x while underway. That is a good thing . That way she can travel more comfortably.

Our marina is just off Charleston Harbor. We are on the inside of a linear dock just inside the breakwater. It is extremely rough on the other side. We are rocking and rolling way more than usual We have every fender we own in use. We're a bit concerned about getting off the dock in the AM...mega current here pushing us into the dock.

Today we took the Resort/Marina Trolley into the historic district. We enjoyed a Grayline bus tour that gave us a great overview of Charleston. We walked around afterwards and had lunch at Hyman's Seafood...evidently, a well known Charleston establishment. They had the very best hush puppies I have eaten in my life. Yum...we'll go back just for those!!!There are pictures on the wall and brass name plates on the tables with the names of all the celebs that have eaten there. The Beach Boys and Neil Armstrong "ate where we ate".

We head North tomorrow very early again...that is if we can get off this dock without taking out a few yachts along the way :-(

  1. Dorsey is a good girl...she gets an award. Charleston sounds charming indeed, have always wanted to go there. Maybe it wont be so rough in the early morning and it'll be easy casting off. Great pic's. We just finished watching a Beach Boys interview on O'Reilly.
