We had a great final few days in Charleston. After our Dock mates from Lake Norman left on Sunday, Bill and Nita Reeves from Dallas arrived in Charleston on Monday. We spent Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday sightseeing and eating our way throughout Charleston from downtown to Shem Creek to Isle of Palms. In fact, the first picture is the four of us having lunch on the market. Great food, great friends, great time!!! 
Thursday - finally the departure date arrived and we were ready. A perfect day to cast off on our adventure - slight breeze, warm temps, and nothing but sunny skies. This is the day we had been planning for a long time. Here is a picture of us pulling away from the dock headed into Charleston harbor to the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW). We were thrilled as we moved into the Ashley River to Charleston harbor toward the ICW. A couple of early pictures of dolphins in the harbor before the ICW as well as a picture of the famous Battery that neither of us had seen from the water..JPG)

Our original plans were to travel to Georgetown on Thursday and depart for Myrtle Beach on Friday. We arrived in Georgetown around 4:30 and, after getting settled, walked to the historic downtown waterfront. What a charming little town. We decided to stay another night so we could further explore. We realized that we have traveled 67 miles - from Charleston to Georgetown - of a 6500+mile trip so we have completed 1% of the trip - 99% to go! - and if the remaining 99 is as good as the first 1, we will have a blast.
A couple of pictures that you may find of interest. Check out the preview of the ponytail on Captain Jack. Don't know how long it will last but it is a beginning.
The last picture is "Still Busy" at the Georgetown dock with downtown waterfront in the background and Pia toasting our safe arrival on the first leg of our journey. 
On Friday we will depart for Myrtle Beach - a trip of almost 50 miles. We will be in MB for a few days as we join our friends John and Sue Winter aboard "Just Relax" for the trip up the east coast.
