Charleston and South to Beaufort, SC


Yesterday was Halloween and we had no trick or treaters!! Guess we'll have to eat all this candy ourselves!

Another glorious day on the Waterway. Temperature was 80 deg and not much wind. Cruised through the 'low country' of South Carolina, past Charleston and anchored off Beaufort, SC. This one is pronounced "Bew-furt" as compared to "Bo-furt" North Carolina. It is a very pretty town with a lot of history and ante-bellum houses. It has been used for many movie scenes (The Big Chill, Forest Gump, The Great Santini, Prince of Tides to name a few).
The 'low country' is aptly named...the ICW winds its way through marshland and spartina grass. With 9 ft tides, there is a lot of exposed mud at low tide. The herons and egrets come out for lunch then.
