When we first flew in our original plan was to launch in a day or two....so much for plans!!! After additional repairs and oil delays, we finally left the boatyard on Friday and headed into Charleston Harbor. Charleston is really an interesting old town. Lots of old churches (I was told there is a building restriction that no building can be as high a surrounding church steeple- don't know it that is true or not!!!!!!!) and historic buildings. The food is really good and really southern- biscuits and gravy, (almost as good as Miss Jenny's) grits with cheese and bacon, alligator (cute name of a restaurant- "Tailgator") seafood and crab, (we split an omelette that was soft sh) ell crab, shrimp and fried oysters with fiery cheese- after I picked out the oyster it was great!!and of course fabulous barbeque. So much for my plans to lose weight!!

We are going with the tide pushing us out and have made it back into the Charleston City marina- in less than an hour! On the way from the Marina to the boatyard it was over two hours. Tides matter!
