Downtown Marina, Beaufort, SC
Day 84 3/25/16 Fri
We arrived at the Beaufort, SC marina under threatening skies and tied up to a face dock. We walked a few blocks to a restaurant in town and ate dinner. We grabbed the free courtesy car and went to a grocery store. The part of town we walked through was really nice. There were art stores, jewelry stores and other nice things, not the typical tourist junk places. Lee found a barber shop and got a much needed hair cut while I got a thing or two for the grandchild to be and Stricklands got ice cream. Oh must not forget the gals beat the guys at cards tonight.
Day 85 3/26/16 Saturday
It was another day at the marina. Still looking gloomy but not a lot of rain really. We took the car again and went to West Marine and the liquor store. We came back to town and ate at the ice cream place that has 10 or 12 specialty hot dogs. Even Lee who is not a hot dog fan thought they were good. Mine was Southern Nights and had honey mustard and fried onion rings crushed on top. Yum
And of course we got ice cream too. We let the guys win tonight since it hurts Mitch so bad to lose.
Day 86 3/27/16 Sunday
Happy Easter. The bunny did not leave any candy. It also happened to be my birthday. It started raining in the night and poured all day long. We did not leave the boat until 6:30 when we went to Journey to play cards. I had an upset stomach so we cut the game short and went back to Sea Turtle. In the afternoon I called our good friends Jane and Roger Bonner in Little River to wish them a happy Easter and talk to them and their company. Bonners collect stray people for holidays so nobody sits home alone. We would have been there too if we had not been on our cruise. The whole crew sang Happy Birthday over the phone. Our older son called and prodded our younger son to do the same, to say happy birthday too, no singing.
We plan to leave before 7am to get thru a bridge that stays shut 7-9 for morning rush hour traffic. We should have a sunny day even if it does start too early. It should be about a 48 mile trip tomorrow. Looks like we will be home on Thurs.
