Day 10: In Charleston

We are tied up at the "Safe Harbor" (that's the company that owns the marina) Charleston City Marina. Next to us, and five metres away on the other side of the pier, is "Powerplay", an ocean-going tender (support vessel) for a luxury super yacht, "Mogambo" owned by Jan Koum, the co-founder and CEO of WhatsApp.

Today we breakfast aboard, then catch the marina shuttle uptown to board a 90-min bus tour of the city; as usual, a superb use of time, with an amusing and professional driver.

Later, we examine a full-size replica of one of the very first steam locomotives to operate in the Americas, the "Best Friend of Charleston", and then visit the Charleston Museum to learn something of the history of this old town.Lue lisää
