I just love being here. After having spent six months here, (Oct. '09 to April '10) it feels like home. Granted, a month of that was spent in the hospital while Norma and Wilson patiently waited at the marina for me to come back. Mercifully, I remember very little of the hospital stay.

I convalesced here as winter turned into spring. Winter was a bit chilly but I'll tell you that I can highly recommend Charleston in the spring time. Everything just comes to life, its amazing. This city has so much history that you could never see everything that there is to see.

I also have some good friends here and that helps also. Lorna, Deb, Deb, (yes, there are two Deb's), Steve, Glenn, Captain Buddy, LeeAnne and occasionally the Home Made Wine boys swing through town. Unfortunately, I missed them by a couple of days this trip.

Anyway, I get to spend two more days and nights here before heading south, as I have a doctor's appointment on Thursday. In the mean time, I plan to spend a lot of time reliving old memories of this special place. I think that, if I ever decide to pursue a land-based lifestyle again, I may very well move here.

Here's a picture as I approached my marina.
