To Charleston

A short word about Dewees Island. This is an exclusive residential community established in the 80's by R Kennedy, among others, it has gradually evolved into a restrictive residential enclave of 150 home sites. Access is by ferry from Isle of Palms. No vehicles are allowed. Local transportation is by golf cart. Just think, in the 1700's this used to be a hunting island used by the Sewee Indians. Isn't progress an interesting thing to explore?

One more item of an administrative nature; should you wish to enlarge a photo for closer examination; click on it. I has trouble with it as well, Chuckie.

Today was kinda cloudy, cool, but peaceful. Anchor came up smoothly, Frick & Frack fired up, and off we went to Charleston Maritime Center. We got there earlier than planned, so took a half hour run up the Cooper River. That took us by the USS Yorktown of WWII fame.  I had an opportunity to tour that ship several years ago. Certainly gave me a whole new perspective on the courage  and determination of the warriors of those times. Impressive, to say the least!Along the way, we went under the Arthur Ravenel Bridge. Always strikes me as one of the most graceful and interesting bridges I've seen. really looks cool at night, when all the cables are reflecting the lights 

Refuelled, pumped out, tied to the slip, we trudged off to Harris Teeter. Sort of a southern Wegman's. Picked up a little of this and a little of that; packed the little red cart, and trudged back to Scooter, A word about little red carts; before we welcomed them into our life, we suffered mightily from PFS;"purple finger syndrome". This affliction occurs when one carries a plastic grocery bag with the fingers in the loop. Any distance over 1/4 mile will generally bring on the symptoms. The degree of purpilization, and accompanying swelling is usually proportional to the distance travelled.
A peaceful night to one and all, may the morning find you cheerful and full of vim and viga. catch you on the flip side
