Beaufort SC- at a dock

 

The town has just a great walkway area with swings to enjoy the view

We didn’t have so far to go today, only 19 miles. We’re staying over in Beaufort in order to be with friends we know from up north. They moved down and built a house here and just moved in a couple of months ago. We’re eager to see their house which we’ve seen in various stages of completion during our previous visits. 

The area is lined with flowers in full bloom, lovely

Meanwhile, we took an inside dock at Beaufort which is not the best for getting off the docks. We will have to back out against a one knot current to leave Sunday morning. There is potential for a disaster if you’re not careful. We were here many years ago and with not as much experience with current, almost came to grief after the boat turned 180 in trying to leave aft first. We narrowly avoided major disaster then. Hopefully, we’ll do better Sunday morning. 

This is still the waterfront area, just a great place to walk and enjoy the summer weather

The waterfront here is lovely. They have a great walkway area lined with swings. They were almost fully occupied by people enjoying the summer type weather and watching the boats go by. We will be here one more day and have been invited out to dinner Saturday night. Then we’ll be off to the Steamboat Creek anchorage before continuing onward to Charleston.
