Charleston to St Augustine ----

More to come.....     and here it is.

Monday 11/26 we arrive in Charleston Harbor. There is incredible hoistory here. From an early settlement to the civil war  to now.
Our first day here we connect with old friends from Holland. Louis and Dawn have been here about five years. Spent the first evening with them. A dinner with a view and good friends. Made a proposal to Louis...let's go for a sail. After discussing it we deide to stay in Charleston until Fri when Louis gets out of work.

Many things to see and do here.  The retired aircraft carrier, the Yorktown was right across the bay. The beautiful new bridge was right behind us. On Wed, we did the tourist thing....took the sightseeing boat to Fort Sumter. Very interesting! They have not rebuilt it so you can see true history. This is where the Civil Was started.

Cannon

The city of Charleston christened a new fire boat. But the best part is the ceremony was right in our marina.
