Thursday, April 20
I have been having
issues with my phone, so took advantage of the short distance to the Apple
Store while Danny stayed at the dock and washed the boat. I didn't get
either issue resolved, but the nice young lady did change several settings so
my battery should last longer. The ride to the store no back was
beautiful. I just couldn't help but take pictures of some of the houses I
passed.
Our slip was only
available for one night, so we moved to Isle of Palms today. There were
so many things to see as we traveled.
First was the bank
of the Ashley River.
Then The
Battery.
Next was Charleston
harbor including the cruise ship terminal.
This is race week,
and it was evident! The pink sail gets the award for the most
eye-catching.
I really wanted to
see some old beach houses on Sullivan's Island, but these were the closest we
saw. Maybe the old ones face the ocean.
These houses were
on the Intracoastal Waterway. I would move into either one of them, as
long as someone else kept them clan and paid taxes and utilities!
The Intracoastal
runs between Isle of Palms and Goat Island. There is no bridge to Goat
Island, so it has escaped high intensity development. We saw
several tiny houses similar to this one, some old cabins, and a few new
homes. There were lots of people on the docks and boats going and coming,
everyone having a good time.
Our new marina is
on Morgan Creek where Wild Dunes resort begins. Most of the boats in the
picture are permanent "residents." Only a few slips close to
the Waterway are for transients, and we were the last slip out. That
meant we would get a bit of rocking from passing traffic and a parade of boats,
paddle boards and jet skis to keep us entertained.
