Monday, April 17 - In Beaufort One More Day
We needed South
Carolina fishing licenses. Nobody seemed to know where you could get
them. After several tries, I found a website that listed retailers, and
KMart was the only one close to us. I called, yes they did sell them, so
we checked out the marina car and headed out. The loaner car here is
first come, first served, and you can only keep it for one hour. That
makes it hard to plan, and an hour isn't long enough to do much shopping.
On to KMart, where
the first clerk told us that their fishing license machine was broken.
Thank goodness I was brassy enough to tell her we had called just a few minutes
ago. She found another clerk who said it had been fixed. That did
NOT mean that she knew how to use it! It took MANY minutes to get our two
licenses, and that didn't leave us time to eat lunch. We had passed
Wayback burgers yesterday on our bike trip, so decided to pick up something
there so Danny could get his burger fix. The burgers were wonderful, and
their house made potato chips were excellent! They were very crispy, well
"done" - just like our friend David Bolus likes his potatoes! I
highly recommend them. OMG - I'm blogging about food again!
Beaufort has so
many beautiful homes, and we had only seen a few. Plus, I wanted to take
some pictures, so we took another bike ride. These pictures were all
taken in "The Point" where many of the antebellum homes are
located. I loved the trees!
There was a
beautiful old boat docked at our marina. I had admired it since we
arrived, and wanted to take some pictures before we left. The cabin was
open and I smelled varnish. The owner was there working on the boat and
told us all about it. It is a 1929 model, lots of wood that he says needs
varnishing twice a year. He is a carpenter and had done lots of work on
it. Wonderful to look at, but I certainly wouldn't want to do all the hard
work to maintain it!
