Charleston well almost

EToday we left early, 6:30, to ride the high tide and get under the Isle of Palm Bridge. This worked perfectly. About two hours before low tide we cleared the bridge only banging the tip of the antena. Then we hurried to get through The Ben Sawer Bridge. The kind bridge lady held it open for us and we were in Charleston. 

It was a little windy so we decided to go to the Marina. We called but no room. We called the Yacht Club, but they said we were welcome to spend money it the restaurant, but could not have a dock. No problem we would anchor then dingy into the city Marina which had a dingy dock. We all got into the little boat and headed across the bay. Half way across the motor stopped and would not go. I tried to row, but the current was a lot stronger then I. Fortunately a sailboat came and towed us to Irish Mist. So much for a trip to Charleston.

I phoned around and have arranged to have it looked at in Beaufort. We will be there Sunday.

Here are some pictures of the other boats in Charleston.
