Beaufort, SC

Days 7 & 8
Jan. 8 & 9, 2016
Charleston to Beaufort, SC

Day 7
We left Charleston ahead of the Strickland's since we are slower and he was waiting for the mechanic to fix his oil leak. We had mild temps and partial sun so was not unpleasant travel. We got to Church Creek where we anchored before Journey but she came along. It was a nice quiet but popular anchorage.

Day 8
Today was supposed to be a sunny day with highs in the mid 60s and it was dreary, overcast and sprinkled. NO sun.  We arrived in Beaufort about 3:40 and it never warmed up in the cockpit/sunroom all day, We had fog until nearly noon making reading markers and buoys difficult. We took off around 8 this morning but Journey waited til after 10. Mitch was uncomfortably with the fog and knew his faster speed would let him catch us before the day ended. We both grabbed mooring balls in Beaufort Town Marina.  A quick trip to Walmart is planned in the morning with the courtesy car to get some milk and engine oil.

Sure looking forward to some warm temps south!
