Carriage ride through the historic section of town |
It was a short trip today to Beaufort, SC from Windmill Harbour. It helped that the tide was coming in with a vengeance for most of the way. The north may be still getting winter weather but down here it's summertime!
Many early houses in town from the plantation owners of a past era |
I ran into one of my Bob423 Surveyors today, M/V Scout! He had earned a Bob423 burgee but this was my first opportunity to give him his. He surveyed the Angelfish Creek Cut in the Keys for 4.5 MLLW. We then walked into town and we learned that the town had just stopped the requirement for masks while outside, only a very few people were wearing them. Strangely, at the marina here, they have forbidden any gatherings on boats of more than three people, citing South Carolina guidelines. We're having friends over for dinner on Saturday night so we'll see how that goes.
Nice dinghy dock for those that chose to anchor out |
The marina appears in good shape. There's a dinghy dock at the south end for those in the anchorage and there's WiFi at the marina, although not very good. We will be here through Saturday and leave Sunday morning for the Steamboat Springs anchorage before moving to Charleston the next day.

Bob - this marina is our homeport (more or less). It's less than 2.5 hours from our house. We just brought the boat back from Fort Pierce last week. I can tell you that you will definitely not have an issue with gatherings of more than 3 people. It's certainly not uncommon.
