CHARLESTON CITY MARINA

Well here we are in Charleston! Capt. John, 1st Mate Neil, our Swabbie Apprentis, Kathleen Shirkey and moi, The Galley Witch.

Departed Southport in what we called an Artic Freeze........the Polar Bears are quite content today. Underway at 8:30, rounded Caswell Beach and set the course for Charleston. Arrived in the Channel about 3:15 with the US Coast Guard chasing us out of the Channel due to tight security around a BIG SHIP! Blue light, guns the whole thing. Cold but pleasant trip with a few elephants on the horizon - also some lions and tigers and bears! Was rough way out there, but we hugged the coast about 4-5 miles offshore.

Now it is wine time and Swabbie Kathleen's famous frozen lasagna! Tomorrow, Capt. John may give her a promotion. Will try to get to Savannah and Wet Willies.

  1. We looked out at 8:55 and saw The Office heading south past Caswell Beach with the pedal to the metal. Looks like fun! Safe Cruising! Dave and Carol
