Beaufort
(bew-fort) is a charming town. But we
have been there before so we stayed in Lady’s Island just a mile away. It is home to the “Fillin Station” with
Friday night steak dinner for $12. We
did not try it but did stop for a beer.
Quite a mix of clientel!
As
usual we had a great time in Charleston even though it was only for a day. On our last stop here we missed the Sunday
Jazz Brunch at High cotton Restaurant.
Fortunately this time our one day was Sunday. Great atmosphere, great food and good
jazz. (For our friends Ray and Suzie it
was like HAGS with better location and food.)
Spoleto Festival was going on so we walked the town and took in the art
show at Marin Square. Had drinks at the
Rooftop at the Venue Inn, listened to
some more music then were treated to a wine and canopy art show at the Venue’s
annex.

Running
the Intracoastal in Georgia and South Carolina is painful and nail biting. No money has been allocated for needed
dredging, so there are numerous locations which have become impassable at low
tide. Fortunately, we have several chart plotting programs for
the computer which give accurate up to date tide and current info which
combined with input from other cruisers on the Active Captain web site has kept
us out of trouble so far. The scenery is
nice, however.

Georgetown
is another historic village with many homes on the Historic Register. I picked out the one below for my sister, Pat.

Traveled
to Myrtle Beach June 2 and had the first rain underway since departing Fort
Lauderdale. This is just a stop over on
our way to Wilmington, NC.
