Thursday, May 26 we departed Beaufort and headed to Charleston. We knew we would have to anchor out one night. We ended up at Johns Island.
Again, we passed so many dolphins. They are so elusive – I can never get a decent photo. Here are my meager attempts to capture a shot of the rascals.
This was an exhausting drive, through winding waters, cognizant of the depths – Beaufort River, Brickyard Creek, Rock Creek, and Stono River. We anchored at Johns Island in the Stono River, next to this beautiful blue sailboat that we see often. Captain Pat didn’t sleep well, knowing a storm was brewing.
We woke up to torrential rains. Checked the weather to see when we could leave for Charleston. Captain Pat is good at checking the weather and keeping us safe. We didn’t have to wait too long to depart.
Friday, May 27, we made it to Charleston for the Memorial Day Weekend. We pulled into the Charleston Maritime Center around 11:30 a.m., just in time for low tide to evade the current.

Chico y Chica…….Some very nice action photos of the dolphins!! Over 99.9%of the population doesn’t even have one! And you have 2! Thank you!
Your travel photos are excellent…..very .natural. Now we have been there too……..
Good news!! The menacing locusts ran out of fuel and gave up 500 miles offshore of the Keys. The sea was bubbling with foam and splashing from the birds and fish dining on the cute little evil ones. You could both hear and see this for miles according to the Coast Guard. Your roof will be as clean as when you left.
I think you know RonSheldon/KofC. He connected Margarita and I with an Ukrainian mother and daughter that just arrived. Husband stayed to fight. Tomorrow, we take them to Walmart with no limits. They are too gentle and courteous for a “buying frenzy”. We will take photos and send them.
Margarita and I are sailing with you and thus far it’s been a very special trip.
