We arrived in Charleston on Nov 13th & spent two days on the Mega Dock at Charleston City Marina. The Mega Dock itself is amazing, each boat is assigned a post number & we were at # 1430. The dock is so long that the marina sends a golf cart to get you if you want to leave your boat. I celebrated my birthday at one of my favourite restaurants, 82 Queen, right in the old area of downtown Charleston, about four blocks from the Old Market Square featured in the movie Gone With The Wind. The city of Charleston again did not disappoint.
However, all good things must end & we need to keep moving so we were off the dock this morning at 8:00AM & tied up securely in Beaufort SC by 2:30 PM. We were fortunate as we left the dock this morning on slack tide ( 8 foot tide range) and tied up this afternoon at slack tide again, with the tide here being 9.5'today
The trip today was probably one of our coldest days as the temp never went above 50F & we had rain off & on all morning. But, we all survived & tomorrow promises to be a bit warmer when we arrive in Hilton Head, a short 30 mile run from here.
So, tomorrow will be a "sleep in" day & we will have a leisurely breakfast before we leave the dock.
All in all a great day, despite the cold weather. Hard to believe we are in the south section of South Carolina & only 10F warmer than Toronto. What have we done to displease the weather gods??
