Charleston

Tuesday, 11-17-2015 0830. Partially cloudy. Wind E at 12 – 15 knots. Strong on our starboard quarter. Temp 62 degrees F

We are tied up in the Charleston Maritime Center Marina on the east side of the Charleston Peninsula, having come in early yesterday at 0830.

We are here to visit a second cousin of mine and see some of this beautiful and historic city. A free trolley hits most of the old town and historic parts of the city so away we went to do just that.

We visited the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, which unfortunately for us was closed for renovations.

After that we walked through the historic district, went to a Harris Teeter for supplies, bought some post cards and returned to Flicka.

Exciting people we are!

Passed a pleasant night tied to the dock with lots of rocking and rolling due to that strong quartering E wind.

At noon today, after a bit of a harrowing experience getting off the dock, we motored out into the Charleston Harbor, rounded the peninsula, entered the ICW, passed through to Wappo Swing Bridge and Elliott Cut to spill into the Stono River Where we came to anchor in Church Creek for the night.

A short day. 

And a screwed up entry to the blog, which I'm fixing now. 

Namaste
