Tonight, April 14, finds us in Beaufort, SC. (Beaufort NC is pronounced BOW-fort. in SC they pronounce it Beu-fort). Everything is going wonderfully!! Yea. Since Surf City we've meandered down the ICW through a really wonderful cedar swamp called the Waccamaw River. It's south of Myrtle Beach and instead of golf courses (there are supposed to be over 120 of them in the Myrtle Beach area), the Waccamaw river is really wild. We loved it last spring and so too this time. We anchored in a beautiful cove with another boat - and awoke to some fog, so took off again. By the time we were out into the main channel, we couldn't see ANYTHING! So thank heavens for the GPS, radar and a very slow speed we wound through this swamp in the fog - very eerie and mysterious. It was short lasting and finally the sun came out and we were reminded how wonderful that can be.
We spent 2 nights in Charleston - love that city! We were invited to attend the symphony with the daughter and her boy friend of C-15 friends from Denver - the Harveys. Yes, everyone, Joyce has a good one in Wayne!
We had to leave Charleston in the dark at 5:30 this morning to make a bridge opening on our way to Beaufort. A little cool today. Tomorrow we will head to Savannah - over 370 miles in 6 days! We are really loving Mystique - and, yes, Samantha is also having a wonderful time!
No time to post more pics, sorry. WiFi is spotty and slow most places, or we're just having too much FUN!!

Sitting in the basement library dreaming of where you must be right now - and, of course, not jealous at all!
So happy to hear of your latest progress!
Sail away!
