Charleston to Jekyll Island

Here are some of our pictures we took in Charleston. We were there until the 14th of November. It is steeped in history. We saw Fort Sumter coming in and toured the old Battery section of town, south of Broad Street, the French quarter and the market area. We ran into friends we met in the Dismal Swamp, Kathy and   Jim with their dog Murphy/ Oliver was happy to greet Murphy again. We spent 2 days touring the area. The rental car helped. The other days we were there were spent in Isle of Palms and Mt Pleasant.

Our morning greeter at the marina. Ollie was fascinated. 

The 14th we anchored out at Fishing Creek, freezing and reached Beaufort SC the next day.We stayed at a dock to plug in the boat for the real heater, not the little one we have to use with a generator at anchor. Oliver even has to sleep with a blanket at anchor and he has a fur coat.

11/16 Hilton Head. This is where we were when our impeller on the engine died. It was stressful, but we got through it. Dropped anchor and Dale went to work as I watched the helm.
After a stressful day, we made it to Isle of Hope Marina, south of Savannah. It was a nice marina and they had a deal of buy 3 nights get one free. We jumped on it as we were cold and in need of rest and some shopping. We were greeted by Harriet and Skip from MoonDance and Pam and Bob from Silhouette.

The 22nd we anchored in the Duplin River and there was a ferry dock to get Oliver ashore. Again ,the night was cold, but the days are now sunny and warming into the 60's. Thanks goodness. We had our Thanksgiving dinner here. I warmed up the cabin nicely making a small turkey breast in gravy, stuffing, sweet potatoes, vege and pumpkin bars for dessert.
