Beaufort, South Carolina

We arrived here around 10:05 and as we got to the swing bridge 15 minutes late for the 9am bridge we had to wait until 10am for a opening. All the guides we have say that the bridge opens on the hour and half hour, but the bridge tender said that the bridge is on a restricted schedule and now only opens on the hour. This is another port that you have to be careful about when you dock as there can be considerable current if you are not arriving at slack water.  After we mailed some packages,  we met with a good friends brother who lives in the area, and had a great lunch at a local restaurant "Plum". We then walked the town some more and looked at some beautiful houses and churches. The waterfront here is really nice and is definitely worth a visit.

When are you guys going to get out on the Atlantis Ocean and do some real sailing? The way your doing it is cowardly. You could of had your boat shipped to Florida and drove down in a car.

We're glad you took the time to stop and meet my brother and have lunch with him. As you know he has been following your blog and was excited to meet you.

You are doing what most of us dream of doing....cruise the ICW! We love reading your blogs and seeing the different towns and marinas through your eyes. There's plenty of time to spend on the Atlantic.

Have fun living your dream. Chuck & Betty
