Beaufort, SC, sights

Meet Mr. Kitty...


Mr.Kitty is very secure in his identity as a dog.  He joined our dock yesterday and, according to his owners, he is a rescue dog who chose his own name.

 Meet Super-boat...




Is it a boat or is it a house?  Apparently, it's both and it seems to be living around Beaufort, because we see it going and coming several times a day.  Running on a solar panel roof, the houseboat has a couple of grills on the topside and I think chickens in a little cage in the back.

Change of Plans...

We were going to move on today, but the fog was very thick and by the time it cleared, we would have had to drive at 10 knots to make the next location before dark.  $$$$


Instead, we're staying here and will be going to a Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow sponsored by a local church for boaters.  Beats the original plan of going through Hell Gate, one of the rotteness of all nautical rottenesses along the ICW.  At low tide, it's one foot and at high tide, seven feet.


Upcoming events...
The Little Mud River





I'm told that Little Mud includes 4/5ths of all the mud in Georgia.  At low tide it is one foot and at high tide, 7 feet.  Engineers have looked into the situation and it seems the only fix is to build a 10 foot berm on the sides so the mud can't slide back in.  

After that, Brunswick, Ga., and then Florida where the tides are not as vicious, the weather is warmer and the children are above average. 


That's all folks....
