COAST GUARD BOARDING IN CHARLESTON

We cruised from Beaufort to Charleston yesterday. We left about 8AM and arrived about 4PM. We were able to successfully out run a big storm at 10 MPH :-)) Actually, the storm seemed to follow us, but we never had any rain. Happy about that.
Gigantic Crane and Barge we passed on the
ICW

Upon entering Charleston Harbor, headed for the City Marina, the US Coast Guard came up next to us and asked to board KNOTUGAL. They followed us over to our spot on the dock and waited for us to get tied up. They wanted to do a safety check. I am happy to say that we passed with "floating" colors!
OUR USCG BUDS

THE BOAT THAT BROUGHT OUR BUDS
We were put on the MEGA DOCK at the City Marina. We were sandwiched in among some 120' yachts.

After all this excitement we decided to walk around Charleston and find a nice cold beer. Did I mention that the humidity was 87% and it was 93 degrees? Needless to say, my hair looked as if I had just stepped out of the shower, and John's t shirt was soaked. We found a fabulous spot for our beer, The Husk Bar on Queen St. They accepted us as we were and happily took our $$$.

This is a large board of lures that was on the Sport Fish Yacht on our dock, that's a lotto lures!
