Monday, April 24 - North of Charleston
It rained during
the night, and put lots of water in our dinghy. Danny had to bail, then
he and Charles tipped it up to get the rest of the water out.
We needed to go to
Trader Joe's for groceries and wine, and I needed smocking supplies for
Margaret's outfit, so we headed for Mt. Pleasant. Charles and Stephanie
picked up breakfast while we shopped - Starbucks for them and Hardee's for
us. They dropped me at the needlework store just before opening time
while they made a beer run. When they return at 10:15 the store still
hasn't opened. Another customer drove up about 10:05 and called both
owners on their cell phones, but no answer. I hated that I didn't get the
supplies, but even more that I caused extra trouble for everybody.
Back at the marina,
we unloaded our groceries, Charles and Stephanie loaded the truck, and we said
good-bye. It had been six months since we saw them, maybe it won't be quite
that long before we see them again.
Since the weather
was "if-fy", we stayed at the marina a couple of hours extra.
We finally headed out and cruised through Awendaw, SC. No, we ever heard
of it, either.
For some reason, LOTS of birds followed us along this stretch. I hope you can get the video.
We finally saw an
alligator! At appropriately enough, Alligator Creek. We didn't have
time to get a picture, but we both can vouch for it's existence.
We anchored for the
night on the South Santee River. It was gorgeous!
Danny fished a little
but no luck. It's a good thing we don't depend on our catch for
meals!
I couldn't resist
taking pictures of the clouds. Aren't they amazing?!
Wonderful night on
the water!
