We are at the Savannah Recreational Dock tied up for the night. Between Spring Break and a half marathon tomorrow it’s busier than normal and then of course it’s Friday. But we have a front row seat. Guy playing guitar and singing outside boat. And he’s really good!! Nice couple on a sail boat from Ontario docked behind us.Meer informatie

Reiziger Glad you got a spot on the dock. There was very little public docking when we last tried to go there.

ReizigerIt was very rough though. Only two other boats stayed the night.

Spent the day tied up at the Beaufort city dock. Really pretty city that I apparently enjoyed too much to take pictures 🤷🏼‍♀️. Had a nice lunch and learned more about the Alex Murdaugh murders and embezzlement then we really cared to know from not one but two boaters who docked by us. Guess it’s a big deal here. Even the dock is tied to the murders. At anchor for the night near a boat ramp out of the wind for the obligatory morning pup stop. Headed to a beach tomorrow.Meer informatie

So apparently my 4 leaf clover was only lucky for me. James and Moki did a tuck and roll in the kayak today going to the beach. Wicked current against the wind! Moki didn’t panic- swam back to the kayak and then enjoyed a romp onshore. Poor James went in wearing boots. Fortunately only 7 foot of water.Meer informatie

Poor James - I’m sure Moki loved the opportunity to get wet lol [Irene]

We are anchored up for the night in Steamboat Creek, a stones throw from a county boat ramp. Very remote dirt road with a beautiful oak canopy (no pic take my word). This is a great anchorage out of the wind and current complete with a little creek to paddle for fun.Meer informatie

ReizigerThose critters have morphed into true cruisers. At some point they may want their own boat. Or mutiny to take yours. Be careful.

ReizigerThey are definitely the co-captains. We are their servants.

We made it to Charleston today. Did a quick stop at Brittlebank Park which has a small day dock. Apparently Mr Brittlebank donated $ to his three favorite cities to establish parks baring his name. Not really on any happening parts of the city but it was good respite for our weary pup. While I walked the dog James overheard a young boy talk to his mom in French. They were from Paris which means James got to practice his Parlez-vous français. We are now a stones throw upstream at Higgins fishing pier which has a small dock and connecting bike trail. A bit further from downtown. At high tide we can see a 17th century replica sailing ship down one of two skinny tidal creeks by us.Meer informatie

We are docked at Leland Oil Company for the next day or two while we wait on the weather. This is a small working marina and as far as I can tell only three of us are transient. A sailboat headed to Beaufort and loopers Jeffery and Gaye from TX are in front of us. Otherwise we are surrounded by shrimp boats. There are two seafood markets nearby. We will check them out tomorrow weather permitting. Moki and I did a long walk around town and this is a really beautiful little place. We visited Deerhead oak which is one of SC’s oldest trees. Only one restaurant within walking distance but it closes at 2:30 on Wednesdays. It has some homemade pies that I may have to explore tomorrow. Fresh seafood 🍤 and pie 🥧 🙌🙌Meer informatie

Rain is about over but it is windy windy! Much more so than a video can capture. Power knocked out at the marina. We are safe and dry but both Moki is very uneasy. Smart dog! On a good note the UV index for today is very low 😂. And all the laundry is done.Meer informatie

Enjoyed another down day today and will leave tomorrow after we visit the local farmers market. Hoping for some fresh veggies and eggs. Two boats left this morning and have been replaced with two more, both loopers. When we arrived on Wednesday I saw a round marker that said Neptune on it while walking Moki. Later saw a poster for the Pinckney Street solar system outside the Arts Council, (1” = 100k miles). There are 10 markers and I’ve found 9. The sun and most of the planets are around the city’s museum but I’ve also stumbled upon Saturn and Uranus. I have one more chance tomorrow to find Kuiper Belt (#10). We’ve enjoyed this stop. Maybe the only downtown left that has no leash laws. We met several dogs just running around on our walks. Everyone seems to know who they are and all are generally friendly. Got a chance to talk with lots of locals. Everyone has been super nice. Today’s secchi at the dock was .8 in 1.4 M at 16:30.Meer informatie
