we had to wait until 8am to set sail, the tide had to be 1/2 way up to pass through the 2nd section of Ashepee Coosaw Cutoff, and we hugged the STD, or red markers all the way thru… we rushed to get to the next bridge opening at Lady's Island Bridge, 11:00 came and went and then the operator said there was too much vehicle traffic to open …. around and around we circled again
finally at noon we had the anchor down. and ready to explore
the first place is usually an
information centre, Beaufort's is in this beautiful Arsenal
information centre
it would of been great to be here on a Sunday to attend this church
we did a quick walk about and here are some pictures of the Spanish moss on the oaks
Beaufort is a living landmark. Birthed 450 years ago, when French explorer Jean Ribaut sailed into Port Royal sound, the second-deepest natural harbour on the East Coast.
Andy from Jacobs Ladder, once again arranged for some Canadian sailors to get together at Luther's, it was 1/2 price burgers and beer … where can you have your fill and the bill with the tip is $24
the dinghy dock, Joe is waiting on me to get our water jugs filled … this is also the only place that we have been bothered with bugs … the no-see-umms were awful
we have decided to deflate the dinghy and store it on the deck … I think an ocean passage is coming up
these is some more of the moss-strewn oaks
it was here in Beaufort, S.C. that our Joint Visa cards refused to work …. it turned out that we had been SCAMMED … so we cut up our cards and are having new ones shipped to our Owen Sound address, and we will get them at Christmas …. in the mean time we are using our personal Visa cards … note to self, always have Plan B
