HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC



DOLPHIN HEAD BEACH

 We arrived at Windmill Harbour Marina about 1:30PM. We had a tough time getting through the lock here, as it was extremely windy (small craft warnings) . The wind pushed us from the side toward the entrance pilings....very scary, but after 3 trys it worked. Again we are thankful for our bow and stern thrusters!

We returned here to leave our boat until mid January, when we will head to the Keys. John's mom's memorial service is this upcoming saturday. He has a lot to do until then.

We had several moments of fond memories today. As we approached HH, we passed the above beach. For the last 35 years our family has walked that beach looking for shells, driftwood, crabs, etc. Many times we would make a picnic of it with a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. There is a playground there where Kristi and Keri played as little girls. Now their children have played there and walked the beach. Hilton Head holds many memories for all of us. John's mom and dad lived long, full lives. They were wonderful grandparents to our girls. Hilton Head just will not be the same without them.
