Day 185 Welcome to Charleston

 



Woke up this morning anchored beside Fenwick Island nature preserve and took Ali on her morning walk and kept a close eye out for alligators and armadillos. We made our way north of the Stono River motoring into the current most of the day. We made it underneath the Wappoo bridge on the last opening at 3:30 before rush-hour keeps the bridge closed until 7:30 PM. We are anchored adjacent to the Charleston Battery, such a historic and beautiful sight to see. We met up with our good friends, Steve and Donna from Blackbeard sailing club and enjoyed sundowners on their boat, Restless. We shared stories about our adventures since we had last met up in Vero Beach a few weeks ago. Tomorrow we are looking forward to meeting up with Jessica‘s Dad and Trish for lunch since they live nearby on John’s Island.

After nine months of planning and preparation, we finally left the dock today. Today is our two year wedding anniversary. Thanks to Chris for surprising us with coffee and donuts in the clubhouse this morning. Paul threw the dock lines on Methuselah, and Debbie and Chris took some pictures as we left Blackbeards. We will celebrate our anniversary on anchor in Beaufort tonight.

  We got a good night sleep despite the gunfire from Camp Lejeune.     We woke up to beautiful sunny skies and we made our way with following winds and tides down to Wrightsville Beach where we met my good buddy Dennis at the dockside restaurant for a late lunch.    Picked up a Mooring ball at Carolina Beach and had a nice stroll on the boardwalk with Allie testing the bark collar….she wore out the battery!    We hope by the time we get to the Bahamas, she will be used to people and dogs in strange towns.

  Left this morning from Beaufort with a cool motor down the intercoastal waterway past Swansboro and ended up anchoring in mile hammocks Bay at Camp Lejeune. At times the motoring got a little monotonous so we decided to play with the WebCam and get these    cute pictures.    Tomorrow, the weatherman promised us the sun!
