Beaufort, South Carolina

-


 Left Sunbury April 14th, destination today is an anchorage north of Savannah, just over the boarder into North Carolina.


We have been to Savannah before so we are choosing to stop at some small towns along our route taking in the small town charm of the south.

Anchored for the night, lots of swing room, good holding what more can you ask for….oh yeah, how about a rainbow.


Saturday the 15th we are headed to Beaufort.  



We cruised right by Hilton Head Island, Harbour Town Golf links, where the Heritage Classic was being played this past weekend.


 Beautiful cruising day.



We arrived just after noon and docked at Lady’s Island Marina, a short, scenic walk over the swing bridge into Historic Beaufort.




We strolled the lovely shops, and enjoyed a few drinks and a snack(brisket burnt ends 😋) at a bar….we chatted up what we thought was a local, but no….he was a looper….. David is soloing his 25’ C-Dory.  Braver than we are for sure.

~~~~~~

We stayed here 2 nights.  The marina had a courtesy vehicle so on day 2 we reprovisioned and did laundry.

On the way home!
Take your time. We had snow last night in Alliston.
However, golf courses are open. Now that is swing room!

  Yup…New Adventures await us…..Loved every minute!!!  We have listed her with the broker who sold her to us, Gerry Zidner.  You can see her listing on boat dealers.ca.  We are back onboard  after our trip north. We had a nice trip back to Canada 🇨🇦…Lori and Dan’s baby shower had a great turn out…fun visit with my sister Louise and cousin Joanne….cloudy eclipse and celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary. Fellow Loopers taking our picture as they go by the marina while we were away.  Back on the move…..we left Wacca Wache marina in SC on April 13th….waiting for high winds to calm.  4 long days on the move and 4 nights at anchor leave us well positioned to cross the Albemarle Sound and weather conditions are perfect. Our first time going through Coinjock, a stop at their dock and diner at their restaurant. House specialty is Prime Rib that Richard enjoyed and I had the Ribeye….it was very nice. Last stretch going into the outskirts of Norfolk, Virgini...

Whitehall, NY

 We pushed off the wall close to 9am this morning, captain had a nice sleep in…..he needed it. The first lock of the day, up 10 feet. We are at maximum elevation of 140 feet for this canal system.  It’s all down hill from here. 👇 Three more locks today, all down. We had company today…a sail boat accompanied us from Fort Edwards to Whitehall. The canal is getting more and more narrow.  Mountains in the background as we approach Vermont. We got tied up in Whitehall, another free town dock including power and water….❤️❤️ Whitehall is the birthplace of US navy and it all started with this boat credited for winning the war of 1812 that was fought in this area. We went for a walk once the sunset, it was very hot today. Small downtown area by the waterfront park, the years have not been kind. View of Red Rover and the park from the bridge we will go under in the morning.
