CHARLESTON DAY 1

Arrived here yesterday, after spending Sunday night in McClellanville, SC. This is a small marina up a very shallow creek. We had to time our arrival/departure down to the hour. It's a good place for an overnight in the middle of nowhere. Yesterday, we dodged rain showers and shallow spots. You gotta love SC's marshes, tides, and areas of having 2 feet of water under your boat :-((

We docked at the City Marina, and noticed a boat that had been at the same marinas for the past several days. We finally had the occasion to meet them. Leo and Marion are on a Mainship Trawler from Ft. Lauderdale. They are on their way south after being in Connecticut for the Summer. We met up with them at Pearlz for happy hour, and then on to Circa 1886 for dinner. This restaurant is part of the Wentworth Mansion. We had a very enjoyable evening sharing hours of boat stories! Another benefit of the day, was that we walked over 5 miles on the streets of Charleston going from one place to another. Great way to see a city.
