Miles of marsh along the route today.
Because of the marsh, anyone wanting a dock has to build a really, really long one. |
Left Beaufort this morning, had planned to anchor about half way between Beaufort and Charleston but the weather forecast called for storms so decided to make it a long day and come right on through. The tide worked with us, so we actually got here faster than we had planned. The trip was through a lot of marsh, some very lonesome areas, other areas with beautiful houses and docks along the way. Passed by a restricted zone that is part of a military complex. That and the marine recruitment centre that we passed on the way into Beaufort supply a lot of the jobs here in this part of South Carolina. The weather was great as we travelled, sunny and warm. A couple of hours after we arrived here, the storm arrived. We had hail, cracks of thunder, lots of lightening, and heavy rain. There is still the occasional flash of lightening, but the rest of the storm seem to be over. We are glad we are tied to a secure dock. Got together with Jim and Gloria for dessert (Gloria makes a great key lime pie), and to plan our touring for tomorrow. We plan to stay for a few days.
