We came into Charleston Friday afternoon but waited a bit to go into the Safe Harbor marina due to the current. We hung outside and came across these two, who look to have been there for awhile.
We were docked toward the end of the original mega dock (pier), which is a half a mile walk to get to land. Safe Harbor offers happy hour every Friday and Tuesday from 5:30 to 7:30, free food and drinks. Very nice!
The marina also offered free shuttle service anywhere on the peninsula. We stayed 2 nights. Friday was a relaxing evening on the boat. We did go into town Saturday night and had dinner at Virginias on King, specializing on low country cuisine.
Charleston is home to may colleges and many of the kids were out, all dressed up and headed to parties. Very fun seeing all the costumes!
Found something fishing off the back of Cheers on our way back from town!
We left Charleston Sunday morning under cloudy skies and 69 degrees.
We traveled with 3 other trawlers south toward Beauford SC. We had 5 dolphins riding our wake for about 10 minutes.
We anchored in Steamboat Creek, about half way to Beaufort. The anchorage was quiet with a boat ramp just around the bend.
This is a oyster farm just inside the mouth of Steamboat Creek.
The next morning 10/28 we moved on to Beauford, SC. We anchored there for 2 nights. There is a very nice town dingy dock with a large park and just past that was the historical section with many shops and restaurants. Tuesday night we had pizza at Hearth Wood Fired Pizza. Delish.
We left Beauford Wednesday morning making our way to Savannah, GA. Yea! Another state closer. We were looking forward to staying down town right in the middle of the parties and events for Halloween on Thursday. We plan on being there until the end of the weekend. I nice travel break.
Savannah didn't disappoint! The historic waterfront was busy with tourists enjoying all the restaurants, shops and pubs. Not to mention the busy river!
Roxie liked it when the tide was high because she could hang out on the bow and watch the folks in town.
We went for a nice long walk just beyond the historic district and found a historic cemetery, trees covered in moss and beautiful church.
We had dinner at the Boars Head Grill and Tavern established in 1958. It is located on the first floor of the former King Cotton warehouse that dates back to 1858!
It is the oldest restaurant on River Street.[
Containership heading our just before dark.
Headed out the next morning.
