Thursday, April 20 - Charleston

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.
