Day 265, May 5th, 2010
Cloudy sky but blue patches. Thunder storms a possibility in the afternoon apparently. Anyway, we set off again at 7:00 and the what wind there was was on the nose!
Arrived in Beaufort, SC at 9:45 and fuelled up at the marina first of all. Then moved over to the free dock where we can tie up for the day. We have happy memories of Beaufort - sight seeing with Darvin and Marilyn on our way south in 2005. And stopping again on our way north with Ray and Cheryl. In fact we find ourselves thinking of both and Bread & Roses and Perfect Peace all the time along this route, remembering funny events and stories from before!!! Happy days!!
We're in the Library right now catching up with the Blog and checking our e-mail! We'll get some groceries next and then get back to the boat. We're hoping to push on to South Edisto River, just south of Charleston, tonight but who knows how far we'll get. Oh - by the way, the sun came out and its hot and humid here today.
....Well! Things didn't happen quite as planned. We didn't get back to the boat until 4:00 and felt it was too late to move any further so we decided to anchor in Beaufort for the night.
Just before we let go the lines from the free dock, two people came up to us and said they were Canadian too. The one lady lived in Beaufort and her cousin had just arrived from Nova Scotia on vacation. We chatted for a while and said goodbye. We waited till 6:00 p.m. and then went through the swing bridge just north of the town (Lady's Island Bridge) and went up the creek on the other side of t he waterway. This area is also part of Beaufort, a part we hadn't seen before. We dropped the anchor right infront of some new condos there. Hadn't been there very long when we heard voices calling from the dock - it was the Canadian lady and her cousin. They had just arrived at a party on the dock and invited us to join them for a glass of wine. Off we went in the dinghy! They were such nice people. The host and hostess had just moved into one of the condos and were celebrating with their friends. We had a great time with them. Southern hospitality is really something!!!
