Tuesday morning 5/7 we left Savannah, crossed into South Carolina, passing Hilton Head on our way to Beaufort, SC.
We settled into the anchorage about 2:30, dropped the dingy and towed the paddleboard over to the beach. Roxie had her first ride on the paddleboard and loved it. After we got back and everyone had a shower, including Roxie, we made our way into town for dinner. The courtesy docks were located right in the middle of town and was adjacent to a really nice park. We ended up having dinner at Hearth Woodfired Pizza. It was delish!
The next morning we had to wait until 9:30 for the bridge opening before we could move on. Bill took Roxie into town for a nice walk.
This is a swing bridge...we haven't seen one of these for a long time!
There are so many dolphins! We have seen more dolphins in GA and SC than we have seen anywhere else!
More low country......
Wednesday we had a 8 hour ride to the Sylvan Shores anchorage. Not a whole lot here, so we had to take Roxie to the shore which was muddy of course. We did get to see millions of tiny crabs running from us. It took a few minutes for Roxie to see them but when she did she chased them!
The crabs were super fast and they are hard to see in the picture but they are along the edge of the grass climbing up the little hill......they are the shiny things in the middle.
Our ride on Thursday was only an hour and a half and we docked in Charleston at 10am at Safe Harbor City Marina. Unfortunately they only had availability for us to stay one night....so we took full advantage of access to water, electric and shuttle to Publix.
The dock at the marina has a "Mega Dock"....this thing is over a quarter mile long!
Friday morning we had to wait for a pump out that didn't happen until 11. If we would have known we would have gone into town instead of waiting on the boat....oh well. We got a couple more chores completed while we waited. Only wished we could have had time to explore Charleston....we definitely want to come back and stay awhile.
